This live session is designed for kids ages 8–15 who are curious about joining our ongoing 1:1 lessons. Meeting each student first helps us recommend the right learning path so they feel confident from day one.
This lesson has one job: figure out if SOMA is the right fit for your child. We do that by actually teaching them.

In their very first lesson, your child learns a real trick using something already at home. No props to buy, no setup required.
By the end of the lesson they can perform it. Most kids show someone in their family before the day is over.
Every child who has taken this lesson has successfully performed the trick by the end of class. Every single one.
Most families who continue after the trial enroll in weekly 1:1 lessons.

No. Your child will learn using everyday objects already at home. No kit, no props, nothing to order.
No, and if they already have some, even better. We ask about their experience when you book so we can tailor the lesson to exactly where they are.
Yes, and honestly these kids often love it the most. Most magic on YouTube is designed for adults. The techniques assume bigger hands and more developed dexterity. We teach kid-friendly sleight of hand that's actually built for how children learn. If your child is obsessed with magic, we give them the real foundation.
No. Your child learns a complete magic trick from start to finish. We only talk about next steps at the end if it feels like a good fit for your family.
We limit trial lessons to two per day so each child receives personal instruction and feedback.
