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 eventually earn their stars!
Students receive a new enamel pin each time they level up.
Hourglasses will have mastered at least three magic effects and one key curriculum concept.
Keys are eligible to perform in School of Magic Arts Performance Nights, and can access all Key Level workshops.
Rabbits are eligible to participate in School of Magic Arts Performance Nights.
Magic School students receive the SOMA Magician's Kit, a professionally curated supply kit that will be shipped directly to your home. At SOMA, we teach real stage magic, which means our kits are not toys. We provide the same tools that professional magicians use in their stage shows, and we teach students how to use those tools effectively.
At School of Magic Arts, we empower our students by providing tangible evidence of their successes. In Magic School, as they move up, they receive pins that designate their SOMA level, which many wear in class and performance. Our leveling structure supports our students by giving them a strong base in stage magic education to explore their individual interests.
At School of Magic Arts, we believe the best way to learn magic is to perform it! We give our Magic School students the opportunity to perform multiple times a year in public shows, for live audiences. In choosing their effects, developing their routines, and working with their peers, students gain invaluable performance skills and become aware of their place on our team in and in our community.

SOMA classes are structured for a consistent learning experience. In each class, students will:
check-in, warmups, core monthly concept re-enforced.
effect introduced, demonstrated, and taught.
guided practice, receive instructor/peer feedback.
perform effect individually, work on presentation skills.
In their first year in Magic Performance Program, students will begin leveling up after their first month. First year is all about a comprehensive overview of magic as an art form, encompassing the basics of palming, forcing, storytelling, routine building, switching, and memorization. Students will begin to handle coins, cards, silks, and props in their classes and, after their third month with the program, will begin performing in SOMA magic shows in front of audiences.
In year two, Magic Performance Program students will refine the skills they learned in year one and tackle harder effects and sequences with more challenging props as they build their magician's kit. They will also deeply focus on the performance skills necessary to create interesting individual routines, and work on developing a style all their own. Year two also brings a focus on peer feedback and community building, with time in each class devoted to critique and review.
In their third year in Magic Performance Program, students begin to specialize in a branch of magic that interests them, including mentalism, coins, cards, or large stage effects. They are encouraged to work within their track to explore its possibilities, while at the same time continuing to further skills in stage magic performance as a whole.

We register new students on a rolling basis so if your young magician is interested, fill out the form below and one of our Head Magicians will reach out to you with class options. Please fill out as much as possible. All information is confidential.
Our Trial Magic Class is one of the entry points to joining our school. We get that virtual lessons aren't for everyone and we want to give new students an opportunity to try us out. This class is a great introduction to performing magic for students who are just starting out, or who are interested in learning more about how School of Magic Arts virtual lessons work.
The first lesson is FREE to new students, just register for one of the dates through the registration link below. We'll send you the Zoom link and materials list on the day.
