Magic formed a key part of the vaudeville culture of the late nineteenth century, largely dependent on the audiences and visual motifs of the popular stage. Historically the magician has been associated with a male figure, in complete control of a stage space and commonly accompanied by a beautiful, female assistant. This article explores the contemporary interrelationships between fin‐de‐siècle magic, entertainment, gender and culture in connection with the unprecedented popularity of the ‘phantasmagorical dances’ performed by the American celebrity Serpentine dancer Loïe Fuller (1868–1928) during the 1890s
