"This stuff's so clever it's criminal!"Max Maven
These words were uttered by Max Maven shortly after reading David Regal's “Close-Up & Personal.” Fortunately, Regal has managed to escape prosecution, due not only to his inventiveness, wit and originality in magic, but also to his success as a comedy performer and television writer. Regan’s magic so impressed Harry Lorayne that his comment after watching it was, "He'll fool the hell out of you."
Regal is a popular performer at the Hollywood Magic Castle, which is just one of the venues where he audience-honed the material presented in this volume. “Close-Up & Personal” contains, in the words of Ken Krenzel, "An abundance of novel, offbeat gems." This hard cover volune contains seventy-two of David's best performance pieces, described with care and in detail, accompanied by hundreds of photographs. If you want to learn close-up trickery that surprises, entertains and amazes both the public and magicians alike, you must own “Close-Up & Personal!”
