Magic Camp
As well as being great fun, learning and performing magic is an excellent aid to increasing confidence, addressing an audience, growing creatively and thinking spontaneously. Attending our Magic camp will also improve your child’s motor skills, and when it comes to school or extramural drama lessons or class show and tell, they will shine.
This absorbing week includes putting on a show, performing parlour magic and creating stunning illusions, to a proficiency where your child will confidently show off their new tricks to you or their siblings! It also represents an excellent opportunity to make new friends, enjoying the limelight in any group.
Skills learned include production (something from nothing), vanishing (using everyday items), transformation, restoration, teleportation, levitation, penetration (passing a solid object through another) and prediction.
TESTIMONIALS
"There was a new trick or story coming home at the end of each day! I was shocked with the Friday Magic Show! Really impressed that the teacher could arrange the group of kids to perform this way, but also great to see the joy of performing on the kids faces."
