Hands-on magic, also known as close-up magic, is a type of magic where the magician performs tricks using small objects and interacting directly with the audience. This form of magic is often performed in intimate settings such as small stages, parties, or even at a dinner table. Unlike stage magic, hands-on magic relies heavily on sleight of hand techniques and misdirection to create illusions. The magician may use cards, coins, ropes, or other common objects for their tricks. The close proximity to the audience allows them to witness the magic up close, making it even more impressive and mesmerizing. One of the key aspects of hands-on magic is audience interaction.
"Andrieh Vitimus does an excellent job of laying out foundational material that will help anyone easily understand and be able to practice chaos magic and energy work. His book provides plenty of exercises that anyone can do, but which will also help any person manifest some powerful changes in their lives if they are willing to follow through and do the exercises. A must have for any magician."—Taylor Ellwood, author of Multi-Media Magic and Neuro-Magic
Vitimus also engages with the contentious issues of trance and identity, delivering a well-considered and thorough contribution to the chaos magic current. Orders generally ship the next shipping day after your order is placed, however, sometimes we receive dozens of orders in one day and we split orders between the next two shipping days.
One of the key aspects of hands-on magic is audience interaction. The magician often engages the audience members directly by inviting them to participate in the tricks or by asking them to choose a card or object. This interaction not only adds entertainment value but also creates a sense of astonishment and wonder among the spectators.
