Close up magic is ideal for when you want immersive informal close entertainment as guests stand with drinks or sit at tables between courses. It also works very well in a dedicated room for small groups to go watch a private magic show one group at a time. Close up magic is usually best early in the event and should be planned before a band or DJ kick off.
