History

Close-up magic, defined as a specific type of performance of magic, is a relatively recent term, not used until the 1920s. Prior to then it was sometimes called "Close-Quarters Magic." citation?

The earliest example of close-up magic would be street magic performed during the middle ages (when the magicians worked in league with a "cut-purse" who stole money from the spectators), then later parlor or salon magic. citation? Historical Details
