Bill Goodwin is an acclaimed American close-up magician, card-magic creator and teacher. The Academy of Magical Arts lists him as its Close-Up Magician of the Year for both 2013 and 2023, while a current specialist catalogue publishes a substantial collection of his instructional releases. Those sources and his Penn & Teller: Fool Us appearance support an active professional identity centered on precise sleight of hand. Research did not locate a dependable performer-owned public site, current private-booking route or verified home base, so those operational fields remain open.
