Magic
Be a wizard and learn some amazing magic tricks with both fun magic props and everyday objects!

Why magic? Learning and doing Magic and Illusions fosters:
Motor skills and dexterity
Analyzing and rapid problem solving skills
Gregarious personality development, Group participation
Ingenuity, Imagination
Confidence, Creativity, Comradery

Most magicians start off loving the technical, puzzle solving aspect and later learn to love the artistry and confidence it provides in social interactions. Magicians have opportunities to join many of the oldest social organizations in the world.

Class is geared towards Grades 3 and up but fun for all ages!

Curriculum:
Hand selected commercial magic tricks from the kit
Impromptu effects with ordinary objects
Magic craft projects will also be created based on the skill level of the student

Lessons will also consist of:
Sleight of hand palming, passes, with coins and the 4500 year old classic "CUPS and BALLS"
Levitations, penetrations with Napkins, Handkerchiefs etc
Easy card tricks designed to be entertaining
Rope and string tricks
Paper and Newspaper tricks
Illusion and escape effects history
Mind reading/mentalism effects and more!

Choose your Experience!
First year Wizard Magic School can be either 2 or 8 classes
Each class is 45 minute lesson plus an optional 30 minutes of extra help. Students will learn approximately 3-5 new and classic effects each class.

Step by step, 2 teams (Wizards & Spell-Masters) will each learn a magic trick and then perform it for a member of the opposite team to improve both the technical execution and the entertainment value.

If students choose to take all 8 classes, they will strive to master their top 10 favorites and then present them in a virtual show on graduation day for friends and family. This option includes a complete Magic Kit valued at $75.

Not sure magic is for you? Sign up for the first 2 lessons and try it out! This option includes a Mini Magic Kit. If your little wizard wants to continue, then simply call the Parks and Rec office to sign up for the rest of the classes!

Custom Magic Kits
The kit will contain most materials needed for the class except common household craft items such as tape, scissors, paper and extra deck of cards. 

The kit will need to be picked up from the Parks and Recreation office prior to the first day of class. We will notify you when they are available for pick up.

For our online class, you will be sent a link for the zoom meeting.
