What is Close-Up Magic?
Close-up magic is magical entertainment that happens right in front of you, magic you can not only see but feel and touch. This intimacy is what makes it so different from other types of magic. An expert close-up magician will involve and interact with the audience far more than a stage magician (or any other form of entertainer for that matter).
Most close-up magicians use common props such as playing cards, coins, sponge balls and rope. And all magicians perform the same basic magical effects with these props, making them appear, disappear, change, levitate, break and restore, and penetrate other objects. What is amazing about close-up magic is that it happens so close to you, sometimes while you are holding the props!
What really sets one close-up magician apart from another is how they present their magic. In fact, presentation is the key - it is what makes close-up magic entertaining. A really good, professional magician will be creative and present their magic in an original and entertaining way. Sometimes humorous, sometimes mysterious, sometimes just plain weird and freaky. The magic becomes a vehicle for the personality and ideas of the performer.
This is what makes close-up magic great entertainment. An interesting, strange and funny person demonstrates the impossible, weird and wonderful, right under your nose!

A variety of close-up and parlor magic (and bit of stage magic if the students has an interest) is included in each class. Versatility in magic skills is important to be considered a credible, talented magician, and Imm ensures that from each class, students learn a variety of illusions to impress their friends, clients and the loved one!
Many of the magic tricks that will be taught can be done with common household items. For those tricks that require special items, a few will be available for purchase after class.
WHERE ARE THE MAGIC CLASSES?

Tips on Hiring a Close Up Magician
The most important thing about hiring a close up magician is that they are professional. An amateur magician may be able to perform magic in certain settings and from the proper angle, but the best magicians can be completely surrounded by onlookers and still leave everyone astounded after the trick has been performed.
Part of being a professional also means that they will show up on time, be dressed smartly, make an effort to attend to every guest and handle last-minute changes with ease. Obviously, this is the kind of magician you want to hire, so here are the tips you need to help you find such a close up magician.
Everyone can claim to be a professional, but a truly skilled magician is the only kind you are interested in investing in. The first step to determine the professionalism of a magician is to explore their website. There should be plenty of information there for you to utilise including a photo gallery, testimonials, past clients, contact information, and pages that explain what specific experiences the magician has had. This is a great way to get an idea of what kind of performer they are without even meeting them
