These sessions are an opportunity to learn magic 1 on 1 from me. They can be taken by themselves or in conjunction with his other magic courses for extra help. Topics to be covered are determined by the students themselves, but students can expect to be learning: Magic effects and sleight of hand techniques (which can involve cards, coins, rubber bands, and rings) that are not covered in other courses. Individually tailored practice routines to drastically improve students' performance ability. New ways to think about sleight of hand and how to effectively execute them in real life. The psychology and theory that goes behind how magicians use misdirection and inattentional blindness to prevent people from seeing the inner workings of an effect. As private lessons are tailored to the student's interests and abilities, these sessions are for students from all skill levels so long as they have an interest in learning more about the topic of magic. Sessions will contain a variety of demonstrations, explanations, and guided practice sessions. The teaching style for these sessions will be conversational. I tend to steer away from establishing hierarchical relationships with my students whenever I can, as I think it hinders their learning experience. The truth of the matter is, the line between teaching and learning is often thinner than we might expect. Students are here to learn from me, but I'm also here to learn from them.
Learning Goals
Students will set their own goals on what they want to accomplish through these lessons.
