To provide some context, I believe that all magic shares a common thread: it allows us to witness or experience something that seems impossible, presented in an entertaining manner.
**CLOSE-UP MAGIC**
I have been, and continue to be, a close-up magician. This type of magic is performed up close for small groups of people, using cards, coins, cups, and everyday objects. Close-up magic is very popular at weddings, private parties, and corporate events, as it serves as a great way to break the ice and keep guests in a cheerful mood.
Watching a skilled and experienced close-up magician is both fascinating and entertaining.
**PARLOUR MAGIC**
Parlour magic can be described as a blend of close-up magic and stage magic. The tricks—often referred to as “effects” by magicians—are more suitable for larger audiences than traditional close-up magic. A prime example is Steve Cohen's Chamber Magic in New York, where the lavish venue and formal dress code create an upscale yet traditional experience.
Parlour magicians typically perform for audiences of up to 50 people, but I prefer to keep it more intimate, aiming for about 15 guests. This makes it feel more personal. Parlour magic is particularly convenient because the props are relatively easy to transport, making it an ideal choice for performances in smaller venues, such as homes.
**Stage Magic**
Stage magic refers to performances that take place on large stages, featuring impressive illusions and extravagant productions. Some of the most renowned stage shows are located in Las Vegas, including Criss Angel's "Mindfreak," which has been running for about ten years.
The most successful magician in history is undoubtedly the legendary David Copperfield, who elevates magic to new heights with a show that runs twice daily throughout the year, executed with flawless precision. If you ever find yourself in Las Vegas, his show is a must-see.
