Close Up Magic
Craig is best known as one of the greatest close up artists in the UK. His coin manipulation is out of this world, performing feats of magic many magicians would be proud of. The art of manipulating coins in fat and skilful flourishes has taken Craig years of practise to perfect. This dedication to perfecting his routine is nothing short of amazing.
He’s far from what you would call an ‘average magician.’ As a successful businessman of two magic entertainment companies, it’s no coincidence Craig’s expertise is in magic. His skills are far from unnoticed. He was once described by Magic Week (one of the top magicians’ journals) as the greatest living coin manipulator in Europe. Magic Scene also awarded him the distinction of "The Performer to Watch in 2009.”
