Beginners Course in Close-Up Card Magic

Why not give the gift of magic lessons as a present?

Do you want to amaze and entertain people?

Have you always wanted to learn sleight of hand with cards but just not known where to start?

My beginner’s course in Card Magic and Sleight of Hand will teach you professional routines and how to perform them, it will open the door to the fascinating world of Close Up Magic, Magicians and the power of Astonishment.

Sleight of hand is often used in close-up magic, where the sleights are performed with the audience close to the magician, usually in physical contact or within 3 to 4 m. This close contact eliminates theories of fake audience members and the use of gimmicks. It makes use of everyday items as props, such as cards, coins, rubber bands, paper, phones and even saltshakers. A well-performed sleight looks like an ordinary, natural and completely innocent gesture, change in hand position or body posture. In addition to manual dexterity, sleight of hand in close-up magic depends on the use of psychology, timing, misdirection, and natural choreography in accomplishing a magical effect.

I am a full-time Professional Magician, performing both Close Up and One Man Stage shows across the South West at Corporate, Charity, Social and Family events. Magic is all about the spectator. It’s all about the emotion and the reaction, it’s about the impossible and that brief hiccup in reality and I can teach you that.
