Children's magicians normally shy away from close up magic for a variety of reasons. This DVD aims to show how you can vastly increase your income by adding close up magic to the list of services you offer your clients. Weddings, close up shows, festivals, restaurants and more - there are dozens of different ways close up magic can be used to increase your business.

Ethan Leeds co-runs one of the most successful children's entertainment companies in the UK. Kids Love Magic book over 1000 shows a year. Russell Leeds is one of the busiest children's entertainers in the UK, regularly performing at over 15 shows a week. Both Russell and Ethan are also experienced close up workers with close up bookings specifically for children accounting for at least half their business. Practical Magic are well-known as suppliers of some of the best props available for today's children's entertainers.

Although close up magic is normally considered difficult, on this DVD Russell and Ethan show you how you can perform close up magic without needing lots of technical skill. Twelve routines are included and many of these would work as well in a full show as they would in close up making the content of this DVD even more valuable.
