Magic Acts

There are different types of Magic Acts:
Close-up Magic, Club Magic, Stage Magic and Mentalism.

Close up magic employs sleight of hand tricks, like vanishing coins and card tricks.
Club Magic employs the use of live animals and props such as silks, balloons, or ropes.
Stage magic employs the use of specially crafted cabinets and props to be used to create the illusions. Machinery may be employed by the illusionist to carry out his acts.
Mentalism is the art of mind reading. The mentalist supposedly reads the minds of people in his audience.
