www.instagram.com/ruben_jxtl 

Price: CHF 565

Duration: School Year

During this programme, your children will have the opportunity to discover the wonders of magic, focusing mainly on close-up magic (in particular, card magic).

This course has been designed to offer a fun and educational approach. Students will learn a variety of techniques, as well as the philosophical and psychological principles underlying these illusions. Using a structured teaching method, we'll help them to build up their own magic toolbox, before tinkering with it themselves! 

Children will have the chance to learn how to present stunning tricks with confidence! They'll discover how to achieve the same effect using different techniques, and vice versa, developing their creativity and sense of innovation.

The sessions will be varied: some will focus on technique, others on theatrical improvisation, facial expression, body language and miss direction.

Still others will look more at the ‘why’ than the ‘how’ of magic, to nurture their understanding of the art.

By the end of this journey, each student will have confidently mastered a reliable and necessary foundation, and will have acquired the necessary skills in technique, psychology and presentation.

The culmination of this workshop will be a strolling show at the end of the year, where your children will have the opportunity to share their talent and creativity with you.

We look forward to guiding your children on this unique and rewarding adventure!
