Class Experience
Hey everyone! I have been very busy performing around the world. I try to teach a few days each month. If you would like one of my classes scheduled on a particular date and time that is not listed, please send me a message. Please include your time zone in your message. ***************************** These classes are private one-on-one sessions. 1:1 This is listed as ongoing but I do them as single one-time classes. Due to my performance schedule, I am not available weekly. Most students do four classes or more. Each class is different. I have had some students do more than 30 classes. We work at the student's pace. The student will learn tricks, sleight of hand, techniques, and psychological principles used in magic. The customized class content will be discussed, if necessary, before the class. The class can be about new tricks or improving any existing tricks that the student already does. James will always have a trick ready to teach each class. Expect to learn one or two tricks each class. Harder, more impressive tricks. Close-up magic including cards, coins, and rubber bands will be a big part of the classes. Card techniques such as false shuffle, false cuts, stacked decks, card switches, card controls, forces, vanishes, and palming may be included in some of the lessons. Students can be complete beginners, intermediate or advanced. The classes will be customized to the student.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from University of Manitoba
The Magic School with James Cielen.
I'm a professional magician from Las Vegas. I've won some of the biggest awards in the industry:
•The Gold Medal, International Award of Excellence
•The Las Vegas People's Choice Awards
•The Siegfried & Roy Gold Lion Award
•The Society of American Magic Milbourn Christopher Award.
I teach not only HOW the tricks work, but WHY they work. When you know why people are fooled, it's way easier to fool them.
I lecture to magicians and I've taught hundreds of thousands of people how to perform magic.
I teach:
1) clever beginner tricks that don't require sleight of hand
2) beginner sleight of hand. The secret moves that require practice. Forcing cards, false shuffling, palming objects.
Not only do you learn the tricks but what to say and how to perform them. I cover the common mistakes so that you won't make those mistakes!
Magic has taken me around the world many times. Let me teach you some great tricks to amaze your audiences!
This is your chance to have fun and learn from a top pro!Reviews
