Magic Etc. -- Amaze your friends and family with impressive feats of magic.
Our next magic and juggling camp is during Spring Break, April 7-11, 2025 in Palo Alto, California.
We will spend the week learning, practicing and performing some classic and amazing feats of magic and we will explore juggling and some other related circus arts as well. Campers have lots of fun while they experience the joy of learning magic and juggling. As a side benefit, we find that our program helps campers develop increased self-confidence, presentation skills, and perseverance. Not to mention, both magic and juggling can help to improve a camper's fine motor skills. No prior experience in magic or circus skills is required.
Campers will get to experience and learn:
Super Secret Magic Tricks
Learn to juggling and other circus arts
- Making balloon sculptures as a camp craft
Take Home Magic Materials: The cost of four amazing classic magic tricks is included in the registration price.
Our goal is that at the end of this experience, the kids will have been exposed to some really neat creativity, been provided instruction which is effective, enjoyable, doable, and FUN.
