Attention kids! In this course you will learn entry level magic from a professional, working entertainer! This class will guide you through a series of amazing tricks that are done with everyday objects. These tricks contain the most important beginning skills of magic. You will learn sleight of hand, misdirection, vanishing and re-appearing, and much more. After this course, you will be able to put on a show and blow the minds of friends and relatives. Magic is not only entertainment, but a great builder of self-confidence and a way to share joy with others.
Children who have completed 1st grade through 6th grade and are interested in magic will enjoy this course. Younger children will need the help of an adult in some instances, but everyone can learn a lot from the videos! Every trick contains and lecture and a practice session, both on video. During practice sessions, we will practice the moves together, over and over. In addition, you’ll be encouraged to practice on your own.
Each lesson comes with a PDF file containing sample “patter.” Patter is the words you say as you perform a magic trick. This secret sauce is what can make or break the entertainment value in magic. Even when you can perform a trick perfectly, if your words don’t engage and delight the audience, your trick will most likely fall flat. The written patter included with each trick in these lessons ensures your success as a performer – as long as you practice!
