We've all heard or perhaps even seen a person who has a magic expertise that is beyond reason, so we assume he has magical powers. In fact, the magic is nothing more than a trick. Another case with these five people, the recorded history of practicing the magic that is sourced from the magical ability that remains a mystery. Anyone? Here are the five magicians recorded in history, as reported by a source from various sources.

Most fans of the movie "Harry Potter" must know this name. He is a magician who invented the Philosopher stone and was more than 600 years old when he knew Dumbledore. Of course, it is only a book and movie story. In real life, Flamel is known to have been involved in Alchemy. The researchers noted that Flamel was involved in black magic while he was traveling to Santiago de Compostela. After he became a magician, people noticed that Flamel and his wife became rich suddenly and they concluded if Flamel used his magical ability to make it happen. Nicholas Flamel died in 1418.

Hayyim Samuel Jacob Falk was born in Germany in 1708 but fled to London, England, out of fear that he would be burned alive. He entered London in the 1940s and he was immediately known as Baal Shem London because of his amazing magical skill. Apparently he can move an object with the power of his mind and even he once filled up a coal barn with some of the spells he pronounced. It is also said that Hayyim saved the Great Synagogue from the fire by writing only a few Hebrew words on the pillars of the building. He even gave a ring to Panglima Orleans to ensure that the succession of the throne would remain in the family. The ring was finally passed on to his son who eventually became the King of France Louis Philippe.

Often referred to as the greatest magician of his time, Agrippa was an extraordinary writer. He wrote several books on black magic and how it works. One of his most famous books is â ?? De Occulta Philosophia Libra Tesâ ?? which is roughly translated into Indonesian into "Three Books on Occult Philosophy". The book is a book that shows the workings of witchcraft that work on three levels of parts: natural sorcery or Alchemy, Astronomy, and magic spells or calling spirits. He wrote and believed that all witchcraft is rooted in divine power. Although Agrippa was a great wizard, he finally quit the practice of black magic around 1530. He believed that studying and believing in the occult would only bring him to hell.
John Dee

| John Dee |
John Dee is a mysticist as well as scientific adviser to Queen Elizabeth I. She is an intelligent man who studies all fields of science. He published a book entitled "Monas Hyroglyphica" which is a glyph that represents his creation and unity. As soon as the theory takes him to the spirit world, he wants more and finds out how to connect with those spirits directly. That's when Dee met Edward Talbot (later known as Edward Kelley). Kelley was both a sorcerer and Dee's close friend and they both traveled to Europe to earn money by showing their magical skills. In 1587, Kelley told Dee that he had spoken with "angels". and he tells him that the angel told him to exchange each other's wives. John Dee eventually returned to England after hearing the story and became a warden in Manchester at Christ University.

As mentioned earlier, Edward Kelley, or formerly known as Edward Talbot, is a close friend of John Dee. They both spent several years in Europe sharing their love of witchcraft. Kelley is believed to have made Enochian (Alphabet Magis). He even claimed to use a crystal ball to communicate with the spirits. Unlike John Dee who believes more in theoretical wizardry, Kelley is a follower of alchemy. He found a magical book in 1580 called the "Book of Dunstan". This book apparently has a spell that can turn any metal into gold by using a red magic powder. When Dee and Kelley split up, Kelley still lives in Europe and continues her work in the field of Alchemy. Vilem Rozmberk, an artist giving Kelley a plantation estate and in 1590, King Rudolph II gave him an Alchemist degree. Unfortunately, the king then arrested him in 1591 on murder charges, but rumors said that his arrest was because the king wanted him to turn the metal into gold for him. When Kelley agreed, he was released but in 1595 he was arrested again because he broke his promise. He was eventually imprisoned in Hnevin's palace until he could turn the metal into gold.
