Why Do Magicians Have Assistants?
BY Anna Green
The magician's assistant—often a glamorously dressed woman—is an iconic and essential aspect of any magic act. But why do magicians need assistants? What do they actually do?
While there are plenty of tricks that can be performed solo, having a partner increases both the number and scale of illusions a magician can pull off. A good assistant can buy a magician time and re-direct the audience's attention. For that reason, most assistants are professional performers, and many are highly trained dancers. They know how to hold an audience's attention, giving the magician time to complete the mechanics of a trick.
Most audiences expect assistants to act as a distraction, but they don't necessarily expect them to operate illusions themselves. Yet, frequently, that's exactly what they do. In fact, there are plenty of tricks where the magician acts as the distraction, while the assistant runs the trick.
The Zig Zag Girl, which can be viewed below, is a perfect example of one such trick. The classic illusion, created by Robert Hardin in the 1960s, is a variation on sawing a woman in half. Hardin would put his assistant into a cabinet and divide her into thirds, sliding the box's midsection away from the rest, so there appears to be empty space where the woman's torso once was.
The trick makes it look like Hardin is doing all the work—putting the assistant into the cabinet, moving the segments around, and operating the saws—but, in fact, all of the magic is happening inside the box. Hardin's assistant, a professional contortionist, twists her body to fit into each segment of the cabinet. Sabotage Times explains, "Here the woman does all the work while the man simply distracts the audience, contributing to the misdirection that makes the illusion possible."
Other magicians use confederates rather than assistants. While the role of the confederate is similar to that of the assistant—helping the magician perform a trick—the confederate operates in secret instead of performing as an overt part of the act. For instance, in the clip below, magician David Blaine appears to make an audience member's card appear on the opposite side of a restaurant's window.
When the volunteer shows his card to the rest of the audience, Blaine's secret confederate inside the restaurant can see it. When Blaine throws the deck of the cards at the window, she simply slaps up the right card while everyone's distracted.
In the last few decades, the often unequal gender dynamics of the magician-assistant relationship have come under increasing scrutiny. While both magicians and their assistants are often highly skilled performers, it's typically only the magician who receives top billing. "They're playing these victims on stage yet they ended up being the brains behind the magic—the actual magician," professional assistant Sophie Evans explained to Weekend America.
While magic remains a world demarcated by gender, some magicians have opted to work as partners, laying to rest the magician-assistant hierarchy. The Pendragons—a husband-and-wife team of illusionists—are one such example. During their signature Metamorphosis illusion, Charlotte and Jonathan Pendragon each play a key role in operating the trick, which depends on the Pendragons' ability to switch places at lightning speed (see how it's accomplished here):
Having an assistant, confederate, or partner allows magicians to divide the audience's attention, and increases the range of illusions they can perform. In the case of the Zig Zag Girl and the card through the window trick, the audience is completely focused on the actions of the magician, while the assistant or confederate secretly performs the work. Teamwork, it seems, is what really makes the magic happen.

Start off by drawing the basic shapes of the giraffe. Lightly sketch an oval for the body….the 4 legs…as stick figures. Draw a letter 's' tail. Draw an oval like shape on the giraffe's neck…like a number '9' like shape.
Draw circles around different sections of the legs and thighs.
Now draw the mass of the body by drawing around the circles and stick figures.
Now use the shapes that you drew in the previous steps and refine the shapes of the giraffe's body.
Now draw the fur on the giraffe's back and draw the odd shapes pattern within the giraffe's fur.

Stretching for more than 30 miles along the Pacific and Highway One, Malibu has achieved almost mythological status among Californian beach towns. Hollywood stars and top athletes live in oceanfront homes here, under an elegant veil of privacy on long stretches of beach, and enjoy front-row seats for surfing and unforgettable sunsets.
While it may sound exclusive, there is plenty of Malibu magic for visitors to access too. Considered to have some of the most perfect waves anywhere, Malibu's Surfrider Beach, just off Malibu Pier, was named the first World Surfing Reserve; nearby Zuma Beach is a sun magnet for locals and families. In winter, Point Dume, at Malibu's north end, provides an ideal perch for spotting migrating grey whales.
The perfect aesthetics stretch beyond the beach, too. The Getty Villa—the original home of the Getty Museum, which opened in 1974—focuses on Ancient Greek and Roman Art (admission is free, but you need to make a reservation). For more contemporary, beachy masterpieces, check out the 30 historic surfboards on display, some dating back to the 1910s, at the Surf Museum at Pepperdine University's Payson Library. For wearable art and an opportunity to spot one of the local celebs browse the shops at the Malibu Country Mart and Malibu Lumber Yard, two upmarket shopping centres, located next to one another.
Afterwards, grab a bite at Malibu Farm, the organic café and restaurant that sits on the pier. Or browse the fresh catches and try one of the famed ahi tuna burgers at Malibu Seafood, opposite Dan Blocker Beach. To spend the night like an insider, get a room at the 47-room Malibu Beach Inn, a former motel located on the so-called Billionaire's Beach, which was given its original makeover by Hollywood mogul David Geffen.
Tough as it is to drag yourself away from the ocean, head inland a short distance and you can also walk through hills and canyons, filled with spring wildflowers and even waterfalls, on trails in the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area. For a cool guided experience, take one of the two-hour Malibu Wine Hikes on the rolling terrain of Saddlerock Ranch vineyard; walks include stops to see Chumash cave drawings, a meet-and-greet with a film-star giraffe (he was in Hangover 3) and, of course, wine tasting.
