Imagine a room full of young magic camp wizard's all ready to start their journey into the world of make believe! Well as young kids isn't that what it's all about at those ages... imagination, creativity, problem solving, etc! As children we do it as we play and magic camp is all about learning life skills while playing!!

I hear the students say, "look some of the tricks involve cards, of and this one includes magic with a finger ring." I… Read More...

It's getting closer to graduation for seniors...thinking about proms, caps and gowns, and after graduation parties called Project Graduation. These are amazing celebrations set up by parents to keep their children safe (it's a chem free party.) Interactive entertainment like a hypnotist or a roaming magician are almost always the top 2 requested and loved entertainers! It's because we are engaging the seniors into the fun and they get to be a personal part of the performances. Having entertained for more than 20 years at over 200 project graduations I have seen lots of fun activities and entertainment (not to… Read More...
Once a year around the months of February & March scout dens and packs celebrate their awards and achievements that individual scouts have earned by completing goals for each badge. It's a great time to see what other scouts are doing, share stories, and perhaps get involved to help your child and others learn different activities, games, and fun times. There is no better way to celebrate than to have a magician come in and add to the festivities! Families share their potluck dinners, scouts are running around the gym, church, etc...

Remember when you were a kid and it was your birthday or Christmas and you opened a box that had all these amazing skills you could learn? A red ball could travel invisibly back to an oriental looking vase, or a rope could only come out on your command, or 101 card tricks with a regular deck of cards! After a while you didn't have someone to share that enthusiasm with or perform for (mom and dad can only pick a card so many times:)) Imagine, a class full of young magicians just like your child, grandchild, niece… Read More...
What is a mentor and why are they important? In a world where children and adults are YouTube instructions, it's a great starting point. However, it's just that a starting point. When trying to learn magic tricks... you can watch and emulate another YouTube magician/trick, but you may be learning bad habits that are tough to shake off. A mentor/expert (think of Professor Albus Dumbledore for Harry Potter) teaches the student timing, pacing, angles, and a multitude of other super important elements to make a magic trick work correctly when performing for an audience. Someone to point out that the… Read More...
Do you realize different children learn differently? They Do! Some children learn from reading, some from listening/hearing, other's from visual, and other still from participation (hands on involvement.) Why is it important to know how you child learns? Because once you know what helps them learn you can help exhilarate their knowledge and grow in skills, information, & knowledge. If your child is a auditory learner- then a camp/activity that is more lecture based will delight them Maybe a library/book club camp. If your son or daughter is a visual learner then watching/observing a sport camps like hockey is a… Read More...
Learning the 'art of magic' used to be pasted down from magician to magician, if you didn't already have knowledge & skills you could not find someone in the know to share info, ideas, and tricks with you. Today's generation is quick to learn on Youtube a trick or two. The plus to that is its instantaneous, the downside is you might be learning/watching someone who isn't a good instructor/teacher. Or worse they teach incorrectly and you learn/practice the wrong techniques and now have to unlearn all the bad habits! Learning any new skill or technique requires a good coach.… Read More...
