WHAT IS CLOSE-UP MAGIC?
Close-up magic is a form of magic that involves performing illusions and tricks up close, usually in front of a small group of people. Unlike stage magic which is performed on a stage for a large audience, close-up magic requires skillful sleight-of-hand techniques that are executed right in front of the spectator’s eyes. Performing outrageous tricks just inches from your guest’s very eyes is a real thrill (not for your magician of course, he’s seen it a 1000 times already!). It’s perfect for weddings, events, or indeed any place where there’s a gathering of people.
