Close-up magic

Close-up magic happens where distance disappears.

Performed just inches away, this is magic experienced in the hands, not from a stage. Cards, coins, everyday objects become tools for creating moments of surprise, connection, and shared attention. There is no spectacle — only focus, timing, and trust.

Each performance is shaped by the people around the table. Reactions guide the rhythm, silence becomes part of the effect, and wonder grows in the smallest details. It’s a form of magic that relies on presence rather than scale.

Close-up magic is not about fooling the eye.
It’s about creating an experience that feels personal, impossible, and unforgettable.
