What You Don't Know CAN Hurt You

Sadly, I can't give away any of my magic secrets. But I do share some wealth building "secrets". Goal is to make the light bulbs go off so that you will have a better money mindset to achieve your goals... and who knows, maybe event transform your financial future. How's that for an amazing trick?

Published in a Trade Magazine
​
M-U-M Magazine is the monthly publication of the Society of American Magicians, which is the oldest fraternal organization for magicians (and actually international, not just the USA). I was a contributing writer for the December 2025 cover story! The story highlights the history and mission of the S.A.M. Hall of Fame and Magic Museum. My magical journey started in high school with a formal mentorship program through the Boy Scout Explorer post associated with the Hall of Fame, and I describe my experience as well as interviews with some other graduates of the program that went on to become professional magicians. I can't share the article here, but you can see some great photos of the Museum's collection on their Facebook page: www.facebook.com/MagicHallofFame

MAGIC
What is close-up magic? Simply put, theatrical impossibilities experienced by small audiences just feet away from the performer. Adaptable to almost any venue and setting, the magic might be enjoyed while sitting at a table, as in a restaurant, or by people standing in small groups, like at a cocktail party or wedding reception. Though always suitable for children, my magic is geared towards adults. Themes often involve quirky inventions and demonstrations of (mostly true) scientific principles. A kitchen sponge absorbs solid coins and a Sharpie marker writes in any color called for. Or an audience member becomes a mind reader while participating in a Cold War history lesson. Whatever the mini-miracle witnessed, rest assured it will be delivered with tongue-in-cheek plausibility.

Here's what Lauryn Schnack had to say:
​
"Matt did a close-up magic show for my best friend's bachelorette party, and he was phenomenal! Fun, dynamic, witty, kind, and got everyone involved. The bride was so happy, and the group had so much fun. I cannot recommend Matt enough. The magic was outstanding!"
