I can provide either one-on-one magic lessons, or group workshops for upto 100 people.
This can be in your home, in the school hall or classroom, scout group, at a club meeting or on a big stage.
I offer a variety of workshop packages from one-off sessions to a full 8-12 week course.
A single one-hour magic workshop is £185 and is suitable for ages 5 and above. They will all learn a selection of tricks such as restoring two strings into 1, card mind-reading, and deciphering colours by feel. The tricks I teach will vary based on the age of the group, but usually they learn around 8 tricks in a one-hour session. They get to keep all the props given in the workshop to continue practicing at home. There is no limit on the number of children who attend, however it's useful to know how many so I can bring enough props for all. I have done this workshop for 4 children in a home, to 100 children in a school. The ideal number is 20 just so too much time isn't lost handing out the props for each trick. This is the most popular workshop for schools.
A two-hour magic workshop is £250 and includes more tricks with some advanced skills. This includes sleight-of-hand with rings which is better suited to older children. I like to teach more complicated card tricks and mind-reading feats. This is often booked by holiday clubs, scouts (toward earning their Entertainers badge) or adults as a work reward.
A full-day session (e.g. 10am-12noon, 1-3pm) is £395. The structure of the day varies depending on resources, space available and age of the learners. I have a Powerpoint presentation that displays the instructions on screen when applicable for the venue. The day can be broken into 4 distinct themes such as Body Tricks, Card Tricks, Number Magic and Sleight-of-hand (whichever is best for the learners age). While technically there is no limit to the number that can attend, I would advise no-more than 30 for the full day.
Or alternatively, 4 x one-hour sessions for 4 different groups (or ages) is also £395. This is often booked by schools for 4 different classes or scouts, cubs and brownies etc. where I teach the same workshop 4 times (with a few variations based on their age, number of learners and also how many of each prop I have to give away).
A series of daily, weekly or monthly workshops for an after-school club, probus or rotary club will vary depending on travelling distance. But if local to Heald Green, Stockport, is usually £100 per one-hour session (based on at least four sessions being booked). Each session is themed and where possible, has an accompanying PowerPoint presentation showing the instructions. I often perform these workshops on cruise ships and are suitable for all ages, however some of the more technical sessions such as card tricks are better suited to older children and adults (simply because a child's hands are not big enough to hold a pack of cards properly).
I have 10 workshops with a PowerPoint, and in the past we did a Circus Skills Workshop for week 11 and a catch-up / Performance session for week 12. But if needed, additional magic workshops can be provided for those requiring it (for say a monthly group meeting over one-year).
The ten week themes are: L1: String, Crayons and Bands, L2: Packet Card Tricks, L3: Number Magic, L4: Full Deck Card Tricks, L5: Body Magic, L6: Money Magic, L7: Ring Tricks, L8: Sleight-of-Hand, L9: Rope Tricks, L10: Proposition Games.
If you are looking for one-on-one magic lessons, I can also provide that. In the past I have been booked to do this for an "employee of the month" work reward. As well as for adults eager to learn a new skill.
The lesson is often focused on certain tricks like Card magic, or bar bets. Whatever the goal is for the learner. If it's just to learn a few effects for mates down the pub, for performing in a talent show or to impress the grandchildren. The price for these sessions will vary mainly on travelling distance but also the number of sessions you wish to book. We can meet in a local cafe, library or your home. They are usually only available on weekdays. Contact me for more information and pricing.
When working very large groups of (40+) the Body Magic Workshops I feel are best as everyone gets to experience the magic at the same time.
