Hi. I am sure that many of have seen Now You See Me or at least the trailer and first four minutes. The theme of "the closer you look, the less you see" sounds pretty interesting. I was wondering if any of you have thought of a routine, patter, or tricks that fit well into that theme. It sounds intriguing to me and so I have been trying to do something with it, but i am having some troubles. Any ideas or thoughts that you guys have?

Pretty much every misdirection demonstration, I love Derren Brown's two card/cards under box sequences:

Yeah. That's basically 'magic' in a nutshell.
I used to use a similar theme during my chop cup busking routine. Kozmo also uses similar lines.
Pretty much anyone who mentions misdirection, really.

I know Michael Vincent uses this line a lot in his performances, "The closer you look, the less you see. The less you see, that's better for me". I'm pretty sure it's an old saying which has existed (in one form or another) for quite some time.
