Come a Little Closer by John Denis – eBook DOWNLOAD

Come a Little Closer is a fascinating collection of close-up magic created from over forty years of friendship, collaboration, and creative exchange among some of the most influential magicians of the modern era. John Denis documents the development of a unique style of magic that evolved from the informal sessions of a group of young London magicians who gathered in magic shops, theatres, and cafés during the 1950s.

The book offers insight into the ideas, techniques, and thinking behind classic close-up magic, featuring contributions from renowned performers such as Jack Avis, Alex Elmsley, Roy Walton, Bobby Bernard, Ted Danson, John Derris, and others. Many of the routines included have become established classics in card and close-up magic, including material connected with the Elmsley Count, The Collectors, and Card Warp.

This eBook edition contains the original routines from the early publication of Come a Little Closer, along with additional effects and presentations developed over the following decades. It includes practical material for close-up magicians, with routines involving cards, coins, rings, and other objects.

More than just a magic book, Come a Little Closer provides a look into the creative process of professional and dedicated amateur magicians, showing how ideas are refined through discussion, performance, and shared experience.

A valuable resource for magicians interested in close-up magic, card magic history, and the methods behind some of the most respected routines in modern magic.
