We are excited to be enrolling new students in our after school classes for January! All month we will be studying ways to control the audience's choices in magic. Registration Deadline: Monday, December 21, 2020.
We are a 100% online school. Our curriculum has been specifically designed, and proven to be effective, for online learning. That means our live classes, lessons, camps, and lecture series are being delivered to students all over the United States, and beyond!

"We had a great experience with…[the] School of Magic Arts. After our half day session, the girls were all able to complete several magic effects, were comfortable with new terminology, and were set for their performance for their classmates...we highly recommend SOMA.”

Let's face it: 2020 has been the worst year ever. If you're like us, you're having a harder time than usual accessing creativity, unlocking positive energy and feeling...well...happy. In this special School of Magic Arts workshop (for adult learners only) we will use the art and science of stage magic as a tool to practice meditation, improve focus, and free imagination. Let's rediscover joy in a crappy world, and make 2021 just a little bit better. Together.

Forget deck the halls, because it's time to wreck this deck! In this two-hour workshop, students will learn how to construct three card "gimmicks" (props used to perform magic tricks). No need to sacrifice beloved playing cards, we'll send you a deck you're allowed to cut, tape, and paste to make gimmicks you can use in performance again and again!
In 2016, magicians Annie Montone and Brian Kehoe, performing professionally as "The Encounter," were teaching students private magic lessons in the Baltimore area when they realized that there was really no such thing as a "stage magic school."
