In this exciting academy, we'll dive into the real-world experience of performing as a close-up magician at live events with one of the UK’s most praised magic creators and performers, Chris Congreave! 

We'll explore the different types of events you'll encounter, from strolling "stand-up" performances to mix-and-mingle situations. You'll learn how to seamlessly break into groups, grab their attention, and navigate common interruptions like new arrivals or canapés with ease.

For table magic, we'll cover the best ways to approach a table, grab everyone's focus, keep them engaged, and handle challenging spectators, including the notorious "Alpha Male."

But that's not all! I'll also share the exact material I use in my own performances, from classic effects to my personal creations that have helped me build a successful career. Plus, we'll dive into essential skills like pocket management and perfecting your misdirection.

This is more than just tricks and theory, this is an entire hands-on course designed to equip you with the skills and confidence to perform for real audiences and book paid gigs.
