Have you ever wanted to be a magician? In this class you will learn a few simple card tricks that most anyone can do easily. We will perform each trick, and then walk the students through the tricks step by step to show how each is done! Just add a little practice and a new magician is born! There are two tricks shown and explained in class. One super easy, one that requires more practice, memorization, and skill. The flow of class is : Brief explanation of some basics of the art of illusion Demonstration of first trick, the easy one Explanation of how it works Walk the class through the trick, each doing it themselves. Opportunity to perform that trick in front of the class. Repeat with the more difficult trick This class size is kept small to ensure that everyone has plenty of time to interact with the teacher and actually do the tricks themselves during class. This is a very "hands on" class where skills are practiced live.

Each student will need one complete deck of regular sized playing cards for class. Also, a video camera that can be focused on a table or hands of the student clearly enough to show their motions. This allows the teacher to critique and improve on the technique.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Learning facts and skills is definitely important, but an often missed but critical piece of education is understanding the foundation. Without a proper understanding of the underlying principles of "how something works," the collection of facts are not only less useful, but often dangerous. It is the understanding of principles that makes interpretation and application of facts possible. By achieving a basic understanding of the principles, it is possible to truly master life skills.
I am mid 50's, Father of 12 children and 4 grandchildren. My life experience is one of constant learning, across many disciplines, resulting in a very broad understanding of everything from the basic skills of life to deep high technology and innovative agriculture. I have several patents in my name and I am releasing a series of books on food and health through profitable small farms.
As a homeschool Dad, my desire is to bring a wealth of basic understanding to the next generation. Not how to use things, but how they really work. The type of understanding the next generation misses through education designed to only teach how to use something.
My classes are intended to give enough understanding to peak interests for further learning through independent research. Each class covers a single topic, at a deep enough level to empower the student to dive further successfully. There is no pre-requisite except a love of understanding. If you are looking to just know how to use something, this is not the place. But if you want to learn how life works, if you love to understand how this or that works, then come along on this journey of exploration into the beautiful simplistic complexity of life and nature.
The classes I teach are independent in addition I offer classes organized into series. It is not a requirement to take all the classes in a series, nor is it required to take them in order. This is designed to give you the most flexibility in scheduling. Also, the classes do repeat often and on different days and time slots, so that if you can't make one class there will be another soon that will match your schedule.
