Platform magic (also known as parlor magic, stand-up magic or cabaret magic) is magic that is done for larger audiences than close-up magic and for smaller audiences than stage magic. It is more intimate than stage magic because it does not require expensive, large-scale stage equipment and can thus be performed closer to the audience and without a stage. Many of the tricks performed by platform magicians are sufficiently angle-sensitive as to make them impossible to perform as micromagic. Most working magicians are parlor/platform magicians.

dbo:abstract
  • La magie de salon est un intermédiaire entre le close up et la magie de scène. Elle ne nécessite pas de gros accessoires et se place généralement en fin de repas. D'une durée de 30 à 45 minutes, les spectacles sont habituellement participatifs et favorisent la participation des spectateurs. Les accessoires utilisés peuvent être les anneaux chinois, les cordes, les foulards, les balles... sans oublier les cartes à jouer qui nécessitent alors une présentation adaptée. Ce type de spectacle est comparable à la magie de cabaret. Cette dernière est cependant plus adaptée à une magie comique privilégiant les jeux de mots et interpellation des spectateurs. * Portail des arts du spectacle (fr)

Many of the tricks performed by platform magicians are sufficiently angle-sensitive as to make them impossible to perform as micromagic. Most working magicians are parlor/platform magicians. Many magicians consider the term "parlor" to be old-fashioned and limiting, since this type of magic is often done in rooms much larger than the traditional parlor, or even outdoors. According to the Encyclopedia of Magic and Magicians by T.A. Waters, "The phrase [parlor magic] is often used as a pejorative to imply that an effect under discussion is not suitable for professional performance." Parlor, or stand-up, magicians generally work without assistants (unlike stage magicians, who may have several in their crew – both backstage and on stage – and may travel thousands of miles between jobs). Performances of this category of magic include civic and fraternal organizations, business groups, private parties, youth groups, church societies, public dinners, and similar venues. (en)
