Mark Leveridge shares his approach to close up magic, as it applies to:
* Walkabout (where
all audience members are standing),
* Table hopping (working at large dinner function tables),
* Restaurant (entertaining at small tables in restaurants and hotel dining rooms),
* Formal
close-up show (one off set piece magic on a close up pad),
* Trade show (using close up to
promote companies).
The effects themselves are relatively simple and not intended to fool
magicians, but rather entertain lay people in the above venues. Mark is both entertaining and fun
to watch. If you work in any of the above venues, I think you will find effects to add to your
repertoire.
