The Art of Magic is featured in a set of five stamps. Illusions can be broken down into several major categories, including production, mental phenomena, defiance of natural laws, vanishing, and transformation. The stamp issuance features these exploits with classic representations: a rabbit in a top hat (production), a fortune teller using a crystal ball (prediction), a woman floating in air (levitation), an empty bird cage (vanishing), and a bird emerging from a flower (transformation).

Transformation tricks are when the magician “transforms” something from one state to another. This stamp shows a flower producing a bird. Other examples are a handkerchief changing color, milk coming from a newspaper, and on and on.
