MICHAEL
VINCENT michaelvincentmagic.com/ Internationally renowned magician Michael Vincent has been named Best Close-Up Magician three times by the UK’s Magic Circle, 3 times in three consecutive decades; 1983, 1991 and 2003. In 1993 he was awarded the title of International Magician of the Year. His performances have been featured at the world famous Magic Castle in Hollywood California, celebrity parties, international casinos, and high end corporate events. Two and a half years ago, Michael encountered a major setback when he lost his hearing. This is a dramatic event for a magician whose success revolved around his unique ability to communicate with his audience. However, in testament to his unconquerable drive and passion for his art, Michael further honed his ability to read his audience, tuning his senses to read the nuances of communication, body language and micro facial expressions, turning an obstacle in to an opportunity to improve. In a career that continues with drive, passion and dedication, his stylish and sophisticated performances take sleight of hand magic to a new level of artistic and authentic self-expression. It is this simple philosophy which has defined Michael’s place in the history of magic. |

Robert has been lecturing to the Magic Community since 1982. Robert’s first magic lecture, Bengel’s Best of Spades, broke out and became a very well received compilation of effects that gave Robert a good first step into the community.
Robert’s second lecture (major lecture), Back to Basics, became a highly sought-out lecture in the United States in the early 90s. Robert’s third major lecture, Back to Basics II, was the logical follow up to Back to Basics, adding more audience-tested routines, concepts, teaching on Timing and Misdirection, and a section dedicated to friends of Robert with great subtleties that will make anyone’s itinerary more professional, and more commercial. Robert has done numerous “one-of" lectures for conventions, workshops, seminars, etc. in the magic community. Having refined his skills/talents in the corporate world, Robert has transcended these skills into the magic community, giving all of the information needed to better one’s skills and understanding of magic, close-up magic, and most importantly, presentations skills.
