An illusion performed by a single magician right in front of the audiences nose. Usually performed for one to twenty
people in casual situation. This kind of magic, unlike stage magic, requires much more skill by the magician instead of by an assistant
like in stage magic.
Downsides of close-up magic is that
people tend to try to ruin your trick on the spot because they don't give a shit on how
amazing it is a lot of the time and most likely want to spoil it because they like to remind themselves that they are gay fags.
Girls tend to either overexcite themselves over this kind of magic or show absolutely no interest at all.
Girl 1:
OMG did you
see that close-up magic trick that
guy did with the cards. My card just changed?!
Girl 2: Oh. It did do that.
