Near & Far: Christopher McBride, Sleight-Of-Hand Artist 08/30/2010
Richard Kemp and Christopher McBride, Sleight-Of-Hand-Artist.
Sleight-of-Hand Magic offers a unique experience that is fun, baffling and truly magical. Christopher uses pure sleight-of-hand methods, rather than secret mechanical devices, to create mind-boggling illusions that are fully polished and expertly presented. His mastery of classic and original technique is demonstrated with playing cards and coins. It has taken many years to perfect his art. He started performing mostly for children’s parties in 1974 at the age of 11, and since 1997, he has made a career of his art performing exclusively for adults and older audiences.
