There is a thing about magic, it should reflect your personality and the character you are portraying. It should also appeal to your target audience and the types of clientele you're looking to hire or perform for.

Card tricks are the main thing that comes to mind when we talk about the best magic tricks. Most card tricks can be done in a variety of situations; however, magic involving props and apparatus are better suited to formal live magic shows and are not suitable for strolling. So, whether you want to do walking close-up magic or street magic, consider doing effects that are modest yet have a great impact. So, let us move forward and see what makes Close-Up Strolling Magic Different from Street Magic.

Close-Up Strolling Magic vs. Street Magic: What's the Difference?

If you see them together, they are nearly identical. The only distinctions are the audience and clients, as well as the materials used, and the kind of effects applied. Street magic is presumably practiced on the street or in the playground of your school if you are in one. The goal of street magic is to either spread happiness or make money, or perhaps both. 

On the other hand, a strolling magician generates a buzz and an atmosphere of fun and laughter by moving from table to table, such as during a wedding, during the period between the ceremony and dinner - for example, when guests are waiting for the bridal party during the photoshoot, or when dinner is being served. 

If you have not been recruited or paid to do magic, there are fewer rules in terms of style, method, temperament, and subject that apply to your strolling magic performance. You're the one who establishes the tone for the rest of the program. You can dress up or dress down as you like, communicate in any language you choose, make use of props, and any materials you want.

You are not compensated to perform street magic, so you can experiment with different techniques and material, and some fresh patter, modifications, and techniques. If you make a mistake, it will sting a little and maybe be embarrassing, but you will rapidly acquire skills on how to refine that technique or better utilize angels. Because you were not employed, no one can accuse you of making a mistake or performing poorly. With both the offer of great content and astonishment, you are ideally doing them a service. If you are a budding magician, street magic is a fantastic method to get some hands-on experience as well as honest reactions and comments.
