“The Five Aspects Of Close Up”

Mark will discuss five main situations that close-up is used in:

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).

For each of the five sections, Mark will be presenting and explaining at least three suitable effects including:

The Reds And The Blacks – a neat and effective combination of the Submarine Card and Oil And Water

Reality Check – killer coin routine for walkabout work with a stunning finish

Assembly Point – a cool coin matrix with a difference

Parade Of The Kings Remixed – a clever re-working of the classic card prediction effect that is smooth and convincing

Mindreading Teddy– a great example of how you can take a random object and devise a memorable routine with it

Co-inci-mental – an up-in-hands commercial colour changing deck routine which is fast and to the point
