Whether in movies or comics, whenever we see a magician transforming a pigeon from a hat, we will be surprised. But do you know? What the magician uses to make magic is not the white dove, but the white turtle dove that looks similar to the white dove and is trained. So don't just find a white dove to do magic because of curiosity, otherwise it will be 100% help! Because white pigeons will never stay in the magic hat honestly, let alone let them come out of the magic hat!
So, what is the origin of this white turtle dove? How did they ban the white dove and become a magic dove? In fact, as long as you search for the white dove, you will find that the page introduction searched out is directly the magic dove, and the page introduction for the search white dove is only the white dove. It can be seen that the white dove is the magic pigeon in the hands of the magician, and the white dove is the magic pigeon that we audiences mistakenly believe.
There are no wild species of white turtledoves. The earliest white turtledoves were artificially bred from wild gray turtledoves by Japanese bird experts. So, why can grey turtle doves be purified into white turtle doves? The simplest explanation is because the grey turtle dove has a white gene. Besides, did you know? The white turtle dove is sometimes called the American white turtle dove, because it is said that they were first brought to the magic stage by an American magician, hence the name.
In the eyes of many laymen, the white turtle dove and the white dove look exactly the same, but in fact the white dove is a little smaller than the white dove, and the white dove does not have a nose tumor like a dove. Their eyes are also different. So, why do magicians choose white turtledoves that are bred artificially instead of white doves?
In most cases, you put the white dove and the white turtle dove in front of an ordinary person and ask him what these two animals are? I believe he will give you a "white dove" answer, because in his eyes, the white dove looks like a small white dove, there is not much difference between the two. But do you know? The white turtle dove has become the magic pigeon in people's eyes because of its size.
Before performing a magic trick, the magician will let the small animals curl up in some places invisible to the audience, and then appear on the stage instantly as the magic progresses. When the white turtle dove is curled up, their body is about the size of one fist, while the white dove is as big as two fists. Therefore, in order to ensure the magician's docile and beautiful appearance, it is better to choose the petite white dove. It is easy to reveal the stuffing, and can change more quantity.
In addition, the character also largely determines the reason why the white dove is selected as the magic pigeon, and the white dove is not selected. As an artificially bred animal, the white turtle dove is docile, close to people and has a high IQ, so it is very suitable for training as a magic pigeon. However, although the white doves have a high IQ, they have a changeable personality and are not easy to handle, and almost every pigeon has a different personality. For example, some white doves are extroverted and active, some are free and loose. The white pigeons are quiet and introverted, they always seem to have their own ideas.
In short, these aspects are the reasons why the white turtle dove can be loved by so many magicians, so when you see the magic of becoming a dove in the future, don't point to the dove and say it It's a pigeon!
