Card Magic for Teens

What They’ll Learn

In this live weekly course, students will deepen their skills in:

✔ Sleight of hand and card control
✔ Classic routines and modern flourishes
✔ Presentation, scripting, and audience interaction
✔ Building confidence as a solo performer

Whether they’re self-taught or just getting serious, this course helps students move from “messing around with tricks” to creating real moments of magic.

What Parents Are Saying

Shyness Transformed

She told me on the way home that she's usually really nervous in public or when talking to new people. But when she does magic, she's not nervous at all.
