About
Holden Summers is a working magician based in New York. He performs close-up and parlor magic in the classical tradition — the canonical effects of Vernon, Malini, and their lineage, refined through the handlings of Charlie Miller and others.
The current parlor set is five pieces: linking rings, the egg bag, silks, a cut and restored rope, and balls in net. Alongside, three original close-up routines in cards, coins, and dice, developed over the past decade.
Recent work includes a parlor set in continuous performance for three years and an hour-long illusion show in preparation.

Practice and study. I am not naturally supernatural.

Wonder is precious and scarce.
