Introduction to Card Magic
Instructor(s): Ben Owen
Half-Day
If you are willing to take the magician’s oath, Ben will help you develop your skills as an amateur magician in this introductory course on card magic. The beginner will learn various self-working card tricks that will astound spectators yet require no sleight of hand. The more experienced conjurer will learn to combine breaks, controls, lifts, and forces to perform powerful illusions. We will analyze videos of master magicians at work and understand how they use science and skill to bewilder audiences. By the end of the course, you will be able to perform a custom routine that will amaze friends and family–but as a magician, you must never reveal your secrets!
