Noun
special effect (plural special effects) (usually plural)
- (film, television, theater) An effect that cannot be reasonably achieved by normal means, as for example by the digital manipulation of previously filmed footage.
2013, Joel Schechter, Popular Theatre: A Sourcebook, page 16:So popular was trickwork and spectacle with nineteenth-century audiences, in fact, that hundreds of plays were written solely as vehicles for magic, special effects, or elaborately trapped settings.
