Our fall session of Magic School runs from September 11, 2023 - December 23, 2023. Students will meet once a week in one hour classes to learn the basics of close-up magic performance.
Magic School is geared towards those students who want to truly study stage magic and perform it, too! In fun after-school classes with a live instructor, students learn the building blocks of magic effects and the secrets of successful routines, collaborate with their peers, and increase their confidence.
As they level up in the curriculum, they will start to perform in live shows, unlock special workshops, and earn special enamel pins!
The SOMA Magic School curriculum was designed by two professional magicians who are also trained educators. It is engineered to effectively teach the core concepts of stage magic, storytelling, and performance skills.
Studies have found that all students (including those with learning difficulties, behavioral challenges, and physical disabilities) exhibit greater self-esteem scores after studying and performing magic.
In a study of forty people learning magic, all showed significant improvement in both the use of the left and right hands, and their ability to use both hands together.
Teachers report that incorporating magic into their curriculum encourages students to help one another, and increases leadership, socialization, peer relationships, and collaboration.
We understand the challenge of finding magic tricks suitable for kids that strike the perfect balance of satisfaction and entertainment.
Our magic has been carefully curated to unearth the most enjoyable and challenging tricks tailored specifically for this age group.
The magic supply kit includes a standard deck of cards, a 12 inch black silk, magician's rope, four sponge balls, two rubber bands, a coin, a small notebook, and pencil.
We offer six courses over three levels. As students progress through the program, the classes become more focused as well as challenging.
