The Magic of Suzanne: The Castle Act
The Winner of the AMA's Close-Up Magician of the Year Award (2010) shares the act that won her the award.
Suzanne is the only woman to win the coveted "Close-Up Magician of the Year" award from the Academy of Magical Arts (The Magic Castle). In this download you will learn some fabulous magic, but you’ll also learn Suzanne's valuable secrets on how to properly structure a magical performance to create a standout show. If you want to become a better performer of magic, get ready for some serious note taking!
Filmed live at The Magic Castle, you’ll be captivated by the same show that consistently earns Suzanne standing ovations, and ultimately won her the prestigious award. Suzanne performs her most famous effects: Let's Play Together, Coming Home III, A Mother's Love, and The Journey.
Also included are three commentaries, each one taking you further inside Suzanne’s thinking as she analyzes and discusses her own performances. Alternate live performances of her favorite routines, a 30-minute interview in which Suzanne talks about her unique magical journey, and footage from her acceptance of the "Close-Up Magician of the Year" award, are also featured.
Go behind the scenes with Suzanne and guest host, Matt Marcy, as they explain step-by-step how to perform Let’s Play Together and Coming Home III, Suzanne’s workhorse routines that she’s relied on for decades. Suzanne even discusses her unique deck switcher in detail, a device she uses in every performance. You will also be inspired by thought-provoking discussions on how to create a signature trick, how to find the perfect story for a routine, and how to incorporate archetypes into your show to craft a dynamic character-driven performance.

“From her opening to her closer, Suzanne's thinking and personality are on full display. A joy to watch! Suzanne's magic is proof that strong magic powered by personality will deliver exceptional results! Watch... Listen... Learn."
Paul Gertner
“Suzanne is a magician who has studied, worked, and walks the walk. Her routines combine a sure knowledge of technique with a gift for construction. On top of it all lies her searingly unstoppable brand of showmanship. She is, simply put, a powerhouse.”
David Regal
“For a long time, no one had ever heard of Suzanne because she had been working all the time. I met her 30 years ago and have been tracking her career ever since. She has the kind of chops that one gets after doing this 10,000 times. Now, as Close-Up Magician of the Year, she has decided to share some of the real secrets of magic... Not only the how but the why... sign me up for this information!”
Doc Eason
“Yes, she has the skill, the showmanship, the energy, and all those other things that make for a great close-up performer. More than that, Suzanne shows her human side. This is what makes an entertainer stand out, more so than what he or she does, because it forges a bond, an emotional connection, that turns spectators into fans -- and performers into stars. And that's what Suzanne is: a star."
