This is a live virtual lesson created specifically for teens!

Do you find magic intimidating? We guarantee you’ll be performing your first effect within 10 minutes of working with us. Our Intro to Magic lesson is for the teen who has always wanted to learn magic, but either hasn’t had the time or the money (magic can be expensive.)

In this lesson, you will learn a principle of magic and 2-3 effects that use that principle. At the conclusion of the lesson, you will receive a downloadable reference to help you practice in the future.
