Throughout the day, students will explore the subtle art of magic by learning the basics of sleight of hand, mentalism, misdirection, and of course, presentation with returning guest artist, Andrew Silver. They will get hands-on experience by practicing magic techniques with cards, coins, rope, and many other common household items. By the end of the workshop they will have an understanding of how to make an object disappear and reappear before your eyes, predict what choices you will make, and even read your mind!
