Those words were uttered by Max Maven shortly after reading David Regal’s Close-Up & Personal. Fortunately， Regal has managed to escape prosecution， due not only to his inventiveness， wit and originality in magic， but also to his success as a comedy performer and television writer.
David’s magic twelve years ago so impressed Harry Lorayne， he wrote and published David’s first book-Star Quality： The Magic of David Regal. Lorayne’s title proved prophetic， and after seeing the contents of Close-Up & Personal， his comment was， “He’ll fool the hell out of you.”
David Regal is a popular performer at The Magic Castle， just one of the locations where he audience-honed the material presented in this volume. Close-Up & Personal contains， in the words of Ken Krenzel， “An abundance of novel， offbeat gems.” Close-Up & Personal contains seventy-two of David’s best performance pieces， described with care and in detail， accompanied by hundreds of photographs. If you seek close-up trickery that surprises， entertains and amazes both the public and jaded peers alike， you must read Close-Up & Personal!
