Another Magical Win for Magician Daryl Rogers!
Daryl Rogers returned from the 2024 annual Abbott’s Magic Get-Together with more than just a new trick up his sleeve by taking First Place in the “31st Annual Curly’s Close Up Classic” in Colon, Michigan.
Rogers, a professional magician from Green Bay, Wisconsin, is particularly excited about winning this award. “I have taken first place in stage contests before,” says Rogers, “but this is my first award for close-up magic.” Rogers won out over five other contestants. “It was a tough field this year, and though I competed with what I knew to be a strong routine, I was still surprised when they announced my name as the winner!”
Curly’s has been a mainstay of the Colon scene for many years, and their close-up contest has been a feature of the annual gathering of magicians for many years. “It is a challenging environment for a competition, but that just makes it more fun!” says Rogers.
Rogers’s previous awards include Houdini Club of Wisconsin First Place Stage, Houdini Club of Wisconsin People’s Choice Award, Abbott’s 84th Magic Competition First Place Stage, Outstanding Magician Award I.B.M. Fox Valley Ring, the Magic Warehouse Online Video Challenge Award, and was a 20i9 recipient of the Eugene Burger Legacy Award.
