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?
During the 1920s and 1930s, the term "Pocket Magic" was also used.
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)
