How do magicians create illusions of teleportation?

Magicians have been using the illusion of teleportation in their shows for decades. It is a classic magic trick that continues to captivate audiences. The basic idea behind the illusion is to make it appear as if the magician has instantly moved from one location to another without physically traveling the distance.

One common method used to create this illusion is called the 'trap door' method. The magician stands on a trap door on stage, and the door opens to reveal an identical trap door in another location. The magician steps through the door, and it is quickly closed behind them. Meanwhile, the magician's assistant appears on stage, seemingly from nowhere. In reality, the assistant was hiding in the second trap door and simply stepped out when the first trap door closed.

Another method for creating the illusion of teleportation is through the use of mirrors. The magician stands in front of a large mirror and appears to step into it, disappearing from view. The audience then sees the magician's reflection in a mirror on the other side of the stage, giving the impression that they have teleported. In reality, the magician has simply stepped off stage and into a concealed area where they can make their way to the other mirror without being seen.
