There’s no getting away from it, sleight-of-hand sits at the very heart of performance magic. Magicians who take the time to understand and refine their sleight-of-hand, build a firm foundation for outstanding performances.
And that doesn’t just go for close-up performers. Many of the world’s most accomplished performers have built their careers upon the solid foundations of sleight-of-hand. In fact, the world’s most successful stage magician, David Copperfield, as well as ground-breaking mentalist, Derren Brown were both masters of sleight-of hand long before they developed into their own unique magical niches.
Even if you prefer to work with special “magic” props or gimmicks, sleight-of-hand can help you to use them with greater confidence, switch them in and out of play, or even get you out of sticky situations when a spectator says, “Can I have a look at that?”
