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).

In a paranormal context, levitation is the rising of a human, or other items, into the air by some sort of mystical means. There is a religion component to such levitation over years in Buddhism, Christianity, Gnosticism, Hellenism, Hinduism, and Judaism.
