Mark Leveridge LIVE (Penguin LIVE)
Five Aspects of Close Up Magic that you won't want to miss
"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
