A close-up magic case is a portable kit that contains various props and supplies needed for performing close-up magic tricks. These cases are specifically designed to hold and organize the necessary items for magicians to entertain and amaze their audience at close distances. The case typically has compartments, pockets, and elastic bands to securely store different props like decks of cards, coins, ropes, and other small objects. It is crucial for the magician to have quick and easy access to their materials during a performance, and the case provides the necessary organization and accessibility. Close-up magic is a type of magic performance that happens within arm's reach of the audience. Unlike stage magic, which is performed on a larger scale, close-up magic relies on precise hand movements, sleight of hand techniques, and misdirection to create illusions and surprises.
Here’s the witch in action.
I put all my props out for my Halloween party but on Halloween night I only put out a few that I think won t upset the smaller children who come trick or treating.

Unlike stage magic, which is performed on a larger scale, close-up magic relies on precise hand movements, sleight of hand techniques, and misdirection to create illusions and surprises. Magicians often perform at small gatherings, parties, restaurants, or even tableside in a theater setting. The close-up magic case allows magicians to conveniently carry and transport their props to different venues.
Home Depot Brings Back a Slightly Different Home Accents Witch Animated Prop for 2017
One of my favorite kid-friendly animated props has returned to Home Depot for Halloween 2017. This time the Home Accents Witch animatronic has a green face instead of a white one. The prop is for sale in stores and also at HomeDepot.com
Here’s the witch in action.
If you haven’t noticed the witch says the same stuff as she did last year. The only difference is her face is green. When she talks she says,
“Happy Halloween and Trick or Treat. Look into my magic ball and I will do a trick for you. Make a Halloween wish. Close you eyes very tight. When you open them the ball will take flight. Look at it float. Look at it float.”
If you want a review you can check out what we said about the 2016 version of the witch.
There are some good things to like about the Home Accents Witch. For one, she’s pretty inexpensive. At $89.99 you don’t have to break the bank to bring her home. And if you wait until the weekend of Halloween she will likely be reduced about 20-30%. If you wait until after Halloween the witch will be around $20 or so. I noticed that Home Depot only had a few of the witches in stock so if you really like her you probably should pick her up before someone else does. Rolling the dice and waiting for a discount could blow up in your face and you might miss out.
Another great thing about the Home Accents Witch is that she is very kid-friendly. The 2017 Home Accents Witch doesn’t say anything creepy or scary when she is activated. Having a green face this year could be slightly scarier to children but when she talks you notice that the prop is definitely a friendly witch. I put all my props out for my Halloween party but on Halloween night I only put out a few that I think won’t upset the smaller children who come trick or treating. Last year I put the Home Depot Witch out on the porch and watched as all the kids walked up to her to see what exactly she could do.
As for whether or not you should buy the Home Depot Witch, I would pick her up as long as you can get her cheaper than $50. There are so many Halloween props out there to choose from but there aren’t many that don’t come across as too scary to kids. This one is an inexpensive prop if you wanted to pick something up to stick on the porch to interact with the neighborhood kids. The Home Accents Witch isn’t he best Halloween prop I own but she serves her purpose and I’m glad I have her out for all the kids to come see and interact with.

It also ensures that the props are protected and stay in good condition. The case is usually lightweight and easy to carry, often with a handle or shoulder strap for added convenience. In addition to storing props, the close-up magic case may also include compartments for other essential items such as playing cards, gimmicks, a close-up mat, and even instructional materials or reference books. Some cases come with removable trays or compartments that can be customized to fit specific prop sizes and shapes. Magicians who specialize in close-up magic consider their case to be an essential tool. Its organization and accessibility allow them to seamlessly transition between tricks, keep their performance flow smooth, and create an engaging experience for their audience. The case serves as a magician's mobile workshop and is a symbol of their professionalism and dedication to their craft. Overall, the close-up magic case is a valuable asset for any magician who performs close-up magic. It provides convenience, organization, and protection for their props, enabling them to deliver unforgettable performances and leave their audience in awe..
Reviews for "Mastering Close Up Magic: A Pathway to Professionalism"
1. John - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with the Close up Magic Case. The tricks included were basic and not impressive at all. The instructions were also poorly explained, making it difficult to understand how to perform the tricks correctly. I felt like I wasted my money on this product and would not recommend it to others.
2. Sarah - 1 star - This Close up Magic Case was a total letdown. The quality of the props and materials included was extremely poor. They broke easily and did not withstand even a few uses. The tricks themselves were lackluster and didn't amaze anyone. I regret purchasing this product and wish I had spent my money on something better.
3. Mark - 2 stars - The Close up Magic Case promised to bring the wonder of magic into the palm of your hands, but it fell short of expectations. The tricks included were too simplistic and didn't offer much variety. The case itself was flimsy and didn't provide proper organization for the props. Overall, it lacked the wow factor I was hoping for and I wouldn't recommend it to serious magic enthusiasts.
4. Emma - 3 stars - While the Close up Magic Case had its flaws, it did have a couple of decent tricks that were mildly entertaining. However, the overall quality of the props was subpar, and some of them didn't even work as intended. The instructions provided were confusing, making it difficult to follow along and perform the tricks correctly. It's an okay option for beginners, but not worth the price for those looking for a more professional magic experience.
