THE CLOSE-UP SHOW
Close-up/strolling Magic is one of the most intimate forms of Magic and Derek does a fantastic job of creating miracles in the hands of spectators he just met! This is ideal for the cocktail hour for an event or even great as an icebreaker to get people interacting and mingling with each other. Derek is one of Southern California's top sleight of hand magicians, and you can see this in action as he uses items such as cards, coins, and even borrowed bills, and rings to make the Magic happen with the spectators own objects in their hands. As an Award Winning Close-up Magician, Derek knows how to create such memorable miracles that will be talk of the event years to come!
