YK comments:
"Aseh Lecha Rav" 2:44 is cited in an article in the Journal of Halacha and
Contemporary Society (vol. 33 "Magic Shows" by Rabbi Moshe A. Bleich) as
being lenient in this regard. Of course, the article also cites the many
Poskim who to say the least frown upon the performance of magic, if not
outright prohibit it, as well as the opinion mentioned by Rabbi Friedlander
(in the name Poskim other than Rav Elyashiv).
