Class Experience

Hello! I am excited to offer the class, Magic & Other Clever Tricks (Part 3).  Thank you for considering this program to further your child's educational development.  

This class is part 3 of a three-part series.  I offer three Magic & Other Clever Tricks classes.  Each class has different magic tricks and are stand-alone classes.  It is not required to attend all three. 

In Part 3 of this series, your child will learn the tricks: The Buddha Papers, The Royal Party, and The Rainhat. These tricks use card manipulation, clever cuts and fold, and hidden spaces to produce magical and surprising results.

These tricks can be performed as stand-alone tricks or while telling a story.  The storytelling adds an element of suspense and intrigue to the magic trick.  The combination of magic and storytelling will also give your child the opportunity to gain confidence speaking before a group or a class.  

My goal as a teacher is to create a classroom where everyone is comfortable, engaged, and learning.  Through gentle and clear instruction, students will be guided to participate and demonstrate their understanding of the material.

Please refer to the parental guidance section for my muting policy.

Parental Guidance
Parental guidance is needed for using scissors. Muting policy - It is my hope that all students will be unmuted during the program. This allows each student the opportunity to participate and be engaged in the material. My programs are designed to be interactive. However, as these classes take place in the home, background noises sometimes cause a disruption. If there are disruptive background noises, I will mute all students. This way everyone will be able to hear the instructions and information. Also, I acknowledge that every student is unique and if you would like to be muted for the program, I completely respect and support that decision. Students are always welcome to unmute and ask questions at any time. After the demonstration/instructional period has concluded, students are encouraged to be unmuted while they work to put the demonstrated techniques into practice.
