Magical Workshops and Seminars

There has always been a need for new and exciting educational programs. These courses were designed for conventions & seminars as workshops, school teachers, law enforcement, firefighters, youth pastors, and other educators. Magicians can also benefit by adding educational messaging to enhance their existing programs.  Participants can learn how to work with different types of audiences, audience warm-ups, magic techniques and theories, how to perform magic, and ways to include magic in your presentations. Magic organizations and resources are also provided.

The following workshops can be arranged (No magic experience is necessary!)
