Micromagic or close-up magic or table magic is magic performed in an intimate setting usually no more than a ten-foot (three-meter) distance from one's audience and is usually performed while sitting at a table.[1]

The vast majority of magicians around the world are micromagicians.

Micromagic can combine sleight-of-hand manipulations with flourishes.

Sleight-of-hand, also known as prestidigitation ("quick fingers") or léger de main (Fr., "lightness of hand"), is the set of techniques used by a micromagician to manipulate objects such as cards and coins secretly.[2]

Flourishes are an example of skill rather than of illusion or deceit. It is the equivalent of juggling to a juggler.[3] The two principal forms of micromagic are card tricks and coin tricks but any small item can be used for sleight-of-hand performances including dice, bottle caps, sugar cubes, sponge balls, pebbles, pens and cups and balls.[4] It's not uncommon for micromagicians to combine several of these objects in a single trick. Famous micromagician, Johnny Ace Palmer produces baby chicks in his cups-and-balls routine.

Qu’est- ce que la micromagie?
La micromagie consiste à présenter des numéros de magie avec des petits objets (cartes, monnaie, dés, élastiques) devant un nombre restreint de spectateurs. La micromagie peut être présentée en formule théâtre où les spectateurs sont assis autour d’une table ou en formule ambulante où le magicien circule parmi les spectateurs.
