Could someone please give me the definition of Parlour Magic. For instance, what exactly is Parlour Magic? Thank you for your help.

Here is a description of Parlour Magic as I know it. Think of it as a show that is a little more intimate than a stage show but bigger than a close-up show. So it is rather in-between a stage show and a close up show. You're not close up, where people are literally gathered around you in a semi-circle, but you're not necessarily up on a stage with a huge audience either. I hope this helps.
Mallusionist definition of the Simple force: The cards are fanned and if the spectator tries to take the wrong card, the magician holds onto the deck really, really tight.

The Parlour of Prestidigtation at the Magic Castle is a 99 seat theatre. Basically, if you are not doing the big box stuff, you can be considered doing parlour.
I can do the same show for 10 as I do for 100. I adjust a few things for vision - eg. for the 3 1/2 clubs, the bigger the audience, the bigger the 3 1/2 clubs I use as a finish. Try not to get caught up in this kind of terminology. My promo stuff says something like - audiences from 1 to 1000. (I also work large venues with other items in my repertoire.)
You have to give it away to keep it.
