A fragment from a Buffalo Commercial Advertiser piece surveys stage illusion techniques from early methods to modern props. It details lighting, wind, rain, snow, earthquakes, explosions, and mechanical devices used to simulate weather, locomotion, storms, and action on stage, noting shifts from torches and cheese-box contraptions to magnetized blowpipes, calcium lights, and specialized costumes. It also references suppliers, regional scenes, and the craft’s reliance on controlled pyrotechnics and rigging.
