Madhrikan's School of Magic

Description

The purpose of this course is to teach students how to design and perform a magic show that they can present to a live audience.  Students will learn the fundamental principles of performing magic tricks as well as the proper way to present a trick.  Students will have the opportunity to practice performing various magic tricks with one-on-one instruction and guidance from Madhrikan. Understanding the psychology of magic is very important and involves a number of significant principles.     Once learning the basics, students will learn how to construct a magic act.  This includes, successful techniques of performing tricks in sequence as well as the mechanics acting, performing, staging tricks and stage movement.      Students will learn how to perform stage magic and engage their audience both verbally and non-verbally.   Training in stage movement and public speaking will help prepare students to be successful in their future performances.    Students will graduate from the course by performing in a live full-length magic show on the stage of Madhrikan's Theater of Magic in front of a live audience of family and friends.  This will be staged in the same manner as one of our own productions.
