CLOSE UP KINGS - PAGE 2

Close Up Kings small logo
Take three best friends who are among the top sleight-of-hand artists in the US, send them from city to city with only a few dollars in their pockets and give them a goal. What do you get? Ocean's Eleven carefully orchestrated and artfully executed capers with tricks that become more complex as the stakes get higher. Whether they're rearranging the print on a dollar bill and making it burst into flames, making a cell phone disappear and reappear in a fountain, switching places with a carriage driver, causing him to vanish instantly or executing a mesmerizing Houdini style jail escape in front of several witnesses, these amazing magicians are guaranteed to have audiences asking 'how did they do that?'
