Movie Magic
​
So... I am going to be in a movie! Seriously. In early July, they filmed scenes for a family movie called "Houdini" in Athens, AL. Story centers around a young girl named Izzy and her journey to become a famous magician, with the help of a dog named Houdini. They wanted some actual magicians as extras. My first day on set was outdoor scene with magicians waiting in line to get into an "America's Got Talent" type contest. Second day was an indoor shoot with all of the magicians performing their acts for the contest. It will probably be next year sometime when the movie is released (or straight to video and streaming?), check here for details. In the meantime, enjoy some behind the scenes photos on my Facebook page (click on the Facebook icon below).

MAGIC
What is close-up magic? Simply put, theatrical impossibilities experienced by small audiences just feet away from the performer. Adaptable to almost any venue and setting, the magic might be enjoyed while sitting at a table, as in a restaurant, or by people standing in small groups, like at a cocktail party or wedding reception. Though always suitable for children, my magic is geared towards adults. Themes often involve quirky inventions and demonstrations of (mostly true) scientific principles. A kitchen sponge absorbs solid coins and a Sharpie marker writes in any color called for. Or an audience member becomes a mind reader while participating in a Cold War history lesson. Whatever the mini-miracle witnessed, rest assured it will be delivered with tongue-in-cheek plausibility.

Here's what Lauryn Schnack had to say:
​
"Matt did a close-up magic show for my best friend's bachelorette party, and he was phenomenal! Fun, dynamic, witty, kind, and got everyone involved. The bride was so happy, and the group had so much fun. I cannot recommend Matt enough. The magic was outstanding!"
