Close-Up Magic: Experience the Wonder Up Close
Close-up magic is a special branch of the magical arts that draws the audience right into the performance. With tricks performed just inches away, it creates an intimate and captivating atmosphere.
Whether using cards, coins, or small props, these tricks deliver astonishing effects and prove that magic doesn't need a big stage to leave a lasting impression.
Close-up magic is ideal for magicians of all experience levels – from curious beginners to seasoned professionals looking to enchant their audience.
What Are Close-Up Magic Tricks?
Close-up magic tricks are performed directly in front of the audience – often even in their hands. This type of magic is especially popular in small group settings, such as at tables, parties, or private events. It makes use of everyday objects like playing cards, coins, or rings to create moments of wonder that feel tangible and personal.
The proximity to the audience makes these tricks especially powerful, as spectators believe they’re seeing everything clearly – only to be amazed by the impossible.

The true charm of close-up magic lies in its proximity to the audience.
There’s no need for elaborate props or big stages – the magic happens right before their eyes (and sometimes even in their hands), creating a sense of connection and immediacy.

- Flexibility: Can be performed virtually anywhere – at a table, on the street, or at small events.
- Minimal setup: Many close-up tricks require only simple props and are easy to prepare.
- Personal interaction: Encourages direct engagement with the audience for a truly personal experience.
