WORLD CLASS MAGICIAN ALWAYS READY TO AMAZE! THE AMAZING BALLANTINE! (as not a clown, a serious serious magician) CLOSE UP, PARLOR AND STREET MAGIC! First, what is close-up magic? Close-up magic happens right in front of the audience, it is magic people can not only see but feel and touch. This intimacy is what makes it such a unique form of entertainment and so different from stage and cabaret magic. The impossible becomes more than possible,then it actually happens, before your very eyes, maybe even in your hands! Close-up magic involves more audience participation than almost any other form of entertainment - the audience is right next to and directly involved with the performance of the magician.
