Close-up, or table magic is an all-involving, intimate piece of theatre, designed to be fun, mystifying and memorable but above all, entertaining.

It is magic performed to small groups of people by a magician who carries all he requires on his person and who can move smoothly from one area to another providing an unusual entertainment service.

Because the performer is working to small groups, he is able to totally involve the onlookers in a way that virtually no other form of entertainment can. Many people marvel at seeing magic happen 'right before their eyes' and it is a source of enormous fascination and amusement.

Close-up or table magic is extremely versatile. It can be used at dinners, wedding receptions, private parties and corporate functions providing an ideal icebreaker. It works well in restaurants, hotels and public houses - anywhere, in fact, where people gather together, either formally or informally.

It is suitable for a group of virtually any size. It requires no special staging, lighting or venue. It is perfect as a creator of atmosphere and an ideal adjunct to music, dancing or eating.

Close-up magic is exciting and different - and Richard Graham is one of the best!
