Egg Trick

The egg trick, David Devant

Dan North studies the interactions between stage magic and early cinema.
....
So, what is lost and gained when a magic trick is filmed? How do magic films compensate for the loss of liveness? First of all, there are two types of magic film – the first is when a trick is recorded “whole”, with a fixed camera and no camera tricks. See, for example, David Devant in The Egg-Laying Man, a brief record of one of the Egyptian Hall stalwart’s oldest tricks, plucking a succession of eggs from his own mouth. It’s a bit of sleight of hand, and while it’s clear that Devant is skilfully performing the illusion in real-time, he could easily have re-recorded it if something had gone wrong or if an ill-chosen camera angle had given away the secret at the first take.

Cosmic Egg

Artist: Monos
The Cosmic Egg is one of the most important symbols of the creation myth and can be traced to several cultures. In the Egyptian myth, for example, the god Geb was associated with the goose that laid the Cosmic Egg out of which all life emerged.
In this interpretation, the Egg was created – you could compare it to the womb – from chaos (the universe).
When the egg breaks open the powers of creation are released.
In this painting, the artist chose a playful combination of young wild animals, who together with children form two of the most vulnerable groups in this world.

Equidna

Echidnas and the Platypus are the only egg-laying mammals, known as monotremes.
