Completely anecdotal, but the best magic "show" I "attended" was a close-up magician at a medieval fair. During his show the crowd grew dramatically and inched closer and closer to his little table. No fence no nothing, so in the end the closest guys basically had their noses touching his coins and cards. He ended his show with a snarky "of course i am messing with you ... these are magic coins, see? ... this one is this big from one side and ..." [flips coin on the table, no toss, just a simple half turn] "... and this big [larger] from the other". I don't have the faintest idea how he did any of his tricks. People were watching him from inches away from every angle even from behind. 10/10 would watch again.
