Close-up magic is one of the most intimacy provoking mediums and it is perfect for many venues. Have you ever been to a restaurant and been greeted by a magician at your table? Ever go to a wedding and were wowed by a magician at your table?
There is something quite unexpected, and therefore, adored about close-up magic. The magic takes place in such a way as to create intimacy between the magician and spectator. It’s as if the spectator is a part of the trick, or that it’s being done just for them. This can make the spectator feel very special. The greatest magicians get comfortable with close-up magic.
One of the most important things for a close-up magician to master is to let the spectator touch and feel the props. Close-up allows the magician to “pack small and play big”. Many props such as cards, coins, sponge balls, and ropes should be easily accessible, and should be able to be held and explored by the spectator.
A great way to wow the spectator is also to use products that would be found on the table; a napkin, a wine bottle, silverware, sugar packets, etc. Close-up magic has the ability to create the same type of effects as in a large show where things appear, disappear, change places, etc., but in a much more intimate setting. And that is what makes close-up so appealing.
It’s imperative that the close-up magician brings out his or her personality and brings that to their performance. They must be good with people, as mingling, casual conversation and ice breaking are required. Not only should close-up magicians entertain but also they should create an atmosphere of relaxation, ease, and camaraderie. When all of these combine, you have a perfect addition to your wedding, party, corporate event or an added marketing bonus in your restaurant.
