Michael Close on Magic, The S.A.M. and The Convention

Michael Close has a worldwide reputation in the magic community as an author, a creator, a performer, and a consultant. He has been a student of the conjuring arts for over fifty years, and has been performing professionally since 1978. His specialty is sleight-of-hand, close-up magic, but he also has extensive experience in stand-up magic. He has lectured and performed for audiences around the world.

Michael has published six books of original material for magicians. These have been hailed as modern classics. In addition, he was at the forefront of magic ebooks – instructional books that combined text, photographs, and videos in a way that has been often imitated, but never surpassed.

Michael is also the editor of M-U-M, the magazine of The Society of American Magicians. Former editors include many well-known American magicians including Harry Houdini, John Mulholland, and Milbourne Christopher.

Michael grew up in Indianapolis which was the location of The Society of American Magicians 2016 Annual Convention. Close was back in in town not only to cover the convention for M-U-M but also to perform.

There were also close-up and stage contests, exhibitors who offer information and sale of magic props, books, tapes, publications, collectibles and items related to magic and other variety arts. The convention featured events for young magicians and alternative events for non-magicians. Gala stage shows were held every night for the conventioneers and tickets to these exciting evening events were also sold to the public.
