Stage Magic

Stage illusions are performed for large audiences, typically within a theatre or auditorium. This type of magic is distinguished by large-scale props, the use of assistants, and often exotic animals such as elephants and tigers. Recently, cameras and projectors have allowed for close-up magic to be stage shows without expensive props.

Parlor Magic

Parlor magic is done for larger audiences than close-up magic (which is for a few people or even one person) and for smaller audiences than stage magic. In parlor magic, the performer is usually standing and on the same level as the audience, which may be seated on chairs or even on the floor.

Close-Up Magic

Close-up magic (or table magic) is performed with the audience close to the magician, sometimes even one-on-one. It usually makes use of everyday items as props, such as cards (see Card manipulation), coins (see Coin magic), and seemingly ‘impromptu’ effects. This may be called “table magic,” particularly when performed as dinner entertainment.

Mentalism

Mentalism creates the impression in the minds of the audience that the performer possesses special powers to read thoughts, predict events, control other minds, and similar feats. It can be presented on a stage, in a cabaret setting, before small close-up groups, or even for one spectator.

Virtual Magic

Online magic tricks were designed to function on a computer screen. The computer screen affords ways to incorporate magic, from the magician’s wand to the computer mouse. More recently, virtual performers have been experimenting with captivating digital animations and illusions that blur the lines between magic tricks and reality.

Séance

Theatrical séances simulate spiritualistic or mediumistic phenomena for theatrical effect.

Corporate Magic

Corporate magic or trade show magic uses magic as a communication and sales tool, as opposed to just straightforward entertainment. Corporate magicians may come from a business background and typically present at meetings, conferences and product launches. They run workshops and can sometimes be found at trade shows, where their patter and illusions enhance an entertaining presentation of the products offered by their corporate sponsors.

Underground/Street Magic

Underground, or Street magic, is a form of performing or busking that employs a hybrid of stage magic, mentalism, platform, and close-up magic, usually performed ‘in the round’ or surrounded by the audience.

Shock/Geek/Sideshow Magic

Shock magic is a genre of magic that shocks the audience. Sometimes referred to as “geek magic,” it takes its roots from circus sideshows, in which ‘freakish’ performances were shown to audiences. Common shock magic or geek magic effects include eating razor blades, needle-through-arm, string through neck and pen-through-tongue.

Psychic Entertainment

Psychic entertainment is a form of entertainment that incorporates psychic phenomena and other related topics. It is a type of show that features psychic mediums, psychics, palmistry, tarot card readers, and other related topics.

Bizarre Magic

Bizarre magic is a branch of stage magic that creates eerie effects through its use of narratives and esoteric imagery. The experience may be more akin to small, intimate theater or to a conventional magic show. Bizarre magic often uses horror, supernatural, and science fiction imagery in addition to the standard commercial magic approaches of comedy and wonder.
