| - Micromagic or close-up magic or table magic is magic performed in an intimate setting usually no more than ten-foot (three-meters) distance from one's audience and is usually performed while sitting at a table. The vast majority of magicians around the world are micromagicians. Micromagic can combine sleight-of-hand manipulations with flourishes. Sleight-of-hand, also known as prestidigitation or léger de main (Fr., "lightness of hand"), is the set of techniques used by a micromagician to manipulate objects such as cards and coins secretly. Flourishes are an example of skill rather than of illusion or deceit. It is the equivalent of juggling to a juggler. The two principle forms of micromagic are card tricks and coin tricks but any small item can be used for sleight-of-hand performances including dice, bottle caps, sugar cubes, sponge balls, pebbles, pens and cups and balls. It's not uncommon for micromagicians to combine several of these objects in a single trick. Famous micromagician, Johnny Ace Palmer produces baby chicks in his cups and balls routine. Micromentalsm is mentalism performed in an intimate session. Inevitably, this form of mentalism involves examples of telekinesis, ESP, precognition and telepathy. Most cold reading takes place in such an intimate session as are most Theatrical Séances. (en)
