Magical Mystery Camp Overview

Did you ever wonder how that magic trick was done? Well, here is your chance to learn at the Headfirst Magical Mystery Camp. Campers discover some of the greatest “tricks of the trade” throughout the camp week. Each session, campers gain knowledge of how and why magic works and learn the basic techniques of sleight of hand as well as the many theories behind magic.

This program focuses primarily on the performance art of magic. Students train in a variety of forms of magic, sleight of hand, “mentalism,” apparatus, coin, card, wand and handkerchief magic, all while learning the basics of what it means to be a magician. A variety of magical games, craft projects and activities accompany serious magic instruction.

Magical Mystery Camp is a fantastic forum to prove to all campers that hard work and practice pay off as they improve their skills and confidence throughout the week. Parents and friends are invited to a performance at the end of the week, where students perform an effect they have mastered for an audience!
