We understand the challenge of finding magic tricks suitable for kids that strike the perfect balance of satisfaction and entertainment.
Our magic has been carefully curated to unearth the most enjoyable and challenging tricks tailored specifically for this age group. Our group lessons allow students to interact with each other to build social skills.
The magic supply kit includes a standard deck of cards, a 12 inch black silk, magician's rope, four sponge balls, two rubber bands, a coin, a small notebook, and pencil.
The engagement! H. had a blast and can’t wait to practice his new skills. The descriptions and oath and history were perfect for a first class. Great content!

My son learned a lot a really enjoyed the class. He tends to be shy, but I heard him talking up a storm in the class!

Yes! You don't have to be extroverted to enjoy and excel at magic. In fact, we've found that our program helps shy students build confidence.
SOMA classes are just 1 hour a week, with 10 minutes of practice required a day, easy to fit into a busy schedule. And since the classes are virtual, drive time is eliminated!
We understand. Unfortunately, in the panic of the pandemic, a lot of educational programs tried to adapt their in-person curriculums for online. And it just didn't work. Students and teachers alike were frustrated. At SOMA, our program was developed exclusively for virtual learning. We've found that magic is especially well suited to be taught in an online environment; each student gets an up-close view of the instructors' hands, making the class easy to follow.
YouTube is a fantastic resource, but there are a lot of things it can't do. While it can be great for learning tricks, it can't give a student feedback on their work, help them find opportunities to perform in their communities, or curate effects that will work for their style and ability. And it doesn't provide a live community of magicians who share their enthusiasm for magic!
