Ein Zauberer ohne Arme und Beine!
26. Juni 2026
Matthias Buchinger wurde am 2. Juni 1674 geboren… ohne Arme und Beine!
Während diese Fehlbildung ein schwieriges Leben vorzuahmen schien, erwies sich Matthias als ein unglaublicher Künstler mit vielen Talenten… darunter die Zauberei!

Dieses Porträt verbirgt ein Geheimnis: Wenn Sie in die Haare hineinzoomen, werden Sie feststellen, dass sie in Wirklichkeit aus Sätzen bestehen!

Neben diesem Talent für Mikro-Kalligrafie (wir erinnern daran: ohne Arme oder Beine!) war Matthias Buchinger ein versierter Musiker, der nahezu ein halbes Dutzend Instrumente beherrschte, und vor allem… Zauberer!
Ein Stich zeigt ihn bei all den Künsten, die er scheinbar beherrschte (die vom Bau von Modellbauten bis zum Schießen reichten). Eine der Vignetten (die unten links) stellt ihn als Zauberer vor einem Becherspiel dar.

Er verstarb zu einem unbekannten Zeitpunkt (gegen Ende der 1730er Jahre). Der berühmte Ricky Jay interessierte sich intensiv für das außergewöhnliche Leben von Matthias Buchinger und sammelte zahlreiche Dokumente darüber. Er schrieb dazu das Werk Matthias Buchinger: ‘The Greatest German Living’ .
