Learn to Perform Close-Up Magic

Have you ever witnessed a magician make something disappear, and wondered “How did they do that!?” Or did you wish you could pluck a quarter from a child’s ear, and in the process cause the child to giggle with delight? Well, my course will teach the necessary fundamentals, techniques and methods of close-up magic, like sleight-of-hand and misdirection, that can easily be learned, and which will enable you to successfully perform amazing magical effects with sponge balls, coins, candies and other small objects. This is a beginner level course in magic, but be assured that the techniques and methods taught are some of the very tools professional magicians have been using for more than a century. And yet they are well within reach of almost anyone willing to practice them. Moreover, learning, practicing, and actually performing the tricks is FUN! After taking this course, you probably won’t be able to fool Penn & Teller, but you will be able to delight others with your magical prowess.
