Sleight-of-hand is the specialty of master magician John Carney, who uses humor and storytelling (and perhaps a member of the audience) in place of props or stagy effects.
“It’s just my hands, my imagination, and my wit,” says the veteran performer and perennial Magician of the Year. “I fail or succeed on my own merit. It’s a tightrope walk; and, when it works, it’s always a thrill.”
