Close-Up

In the past few years, magic has enjoyed a tremendous growth in popularity due to performances of it on television.

But magic on television suffers the fundamental failing of not being trusted. People suspect trick photography, thinking, "In person, that might be amazing, but anything can be done on TV." Or maybe, "If I could only witness that up close, then I could figure it out!"

That's why magic in person is so much more fun, so much more satisfying—and so much more bewildering—than magic on television.

Tim Arends can bring the fun of magic to your group, no matter what the performing conditions. No theater is needed to enjoy close-up magic...the theater can be your living room, outdoor event or even banquet table.

Tim Arends will do things that will absolutely astound you. Things like cause real paper money to appear from thin air. Or stab a knife through a volunteer's coat (without harming it). Or seriously convince you that he can read minds.

And much more...

Close-up magic falls into the following two broad categories:

Walkaround magic.

The magician moves from one group of spectators to another, allowing everybody to enjoy the show. Whether the spectators are standing or sitting, indoors or outdoors doesn't matter; Tim Arends can make any wait more enjoyable.

Sit-down magic.

The magician is seated and presents a formal close-up show, the spectators either standing or sitting on the other side of the performance table. Ideal for parties!

Suitable for:

  • Fairs (outdoors)
  • Banquets

  • Casinos
