Welcome to Captivating Visuals by Yvan Garmy, a collection of lecture notes that dive into the art of close-up and stand-up magic with a strong focus on creating powerful, visual effects. Whether you're a seasoned magician or a passionate student of the craft, these notes provide a variety of original routines, practical sleight-of-hand techniques, and insightful thoughts on enhancing performances.
Garmy’s philosophy revolves around constant exploration—questioning, refining, and iterating on classic and modern magic principles to maximize their impact. In these notes, he shares a mix of card magic, bill transformations, sleight-of-hand strategies, and even a few gimmick-based tricks that elevate the spectator’s experience.
This collection also emphasizes the importance of visual storytelling in magic, focusing on how tricks should not only deceive but also captivate an audience. Additionally, Garmy provides guidance on adjusting performances to different environments, from close-up settings to larger audiences.
