Magic Lecture:  Michael Close www.MichaelClose.com

Thursday, May 5, 2005 - 7:00 PM - Apollo Theatre, 311 N. Main St., Downtown Peoria (across from the Court House)   

$10 Admission per person

 

Michael Close is an accomplished performer specializing in comedy close-up magic.  His routines are well-blended with audience participation and humor.  Michael has performed in the piano bar at the Monte Carlo Hotel in Las Vegas (home of The Lance Burton Theatre).  He writes a regularly featured product review column in Magic Magazine.  It’s been six years since Michael has lectured for magicians.  Michael’s lecture has been hailed as “entertaining,” “educational,” and “inspiring.”  You’ll laugh, you’ll be amazed, and you’ll leave knowing more about the art of magic.

 

Michael’s new lecture features routines from his groundbreaking ebook Closely Guarded Secrets.  This is material that Michael developed during his three-year run at the Houdini Lounge in the Monte Carlo Hotel in Las Vegas.  Michael will also discuss some old favorites from his critically acclaimed Workers series.  Don’t miss this great opportunity to spend some time with one of magic’s modern masters.
