CLOSE UP MAGIC – DENVER, COLORADO

The Positive Power of Close Up Magic

One of the oldest and most intimate forms of magic, “close up” is the form of magic that audiences find the most astonishing. Unlike stage magic, which is often performed at a considerable distance from the crowd and involves large and elaborate props, close up magic is performed standing right next to onlookers – sometimes the magic happens in their hands! Close up magic usually involves everyday items such as playing cards, coins or pieces of rope. Due to their proximity to the magician, most spectators are lured into a false sense of confidence that they could detect any sleight of hand. When the magician performs his close up magic and viewers are unable to find any hint of trickery, the results are astounding – leaving some to wonder if magic truly does exist!

What Makes Close Up Magic So Special?

While all forms of magic can entertain, delight and amaze audiences, close up magic often resonates more with audiences than stage magic because of its more intimate nature. Most close up magic relies on audience member participation, leaving a distance of only an arm’s length between the magician and his audience. Due to this close proximity, most close up magic is performed for only a handful of people at one time. All of these elements combined make close up magic a very intimate, powerful and special experience for spectators.

For centuries, magicians have been aware of the appeal of close up magic and over the years began to incorporate it into their stage shows. Magicians would call on various audience members to assist them with magic while on stage. Onlookers were even more astonished at the magician’s magical feats when even the audience assistant, who was close enough to the magician to detect any trickery, was unable to spot any sleight of hand or deception.
