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.

My son loved everything about the magic class! His confidence level increased tremendously and it was wonderful to see him feeling proud about his magic tricks. His presentation skills improved as well!

She has gained self-confidence, something all her own to individuate from her sisters, and cool friends and mentors. We can’t wait to do it all again and highly highly recommend their services!

He really loves taking these classes, which has been great because we struggled finding something he would stick to. It really has been so wonderful for him!

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!
