Good teacher, like his magic looking forward to learning some more
Mike was funny, clever, and awesome. Loved it!
Mike is very knowledgable about magic. He had planned two tricks to teach my son but when we said we wanted learn something else he was able to accommodate us right on the spot.
Mike was very patient and fun to interact with .

Magic Lessons
Abracadabra! People have always loved to see and believe in the impossible, and magicians bring spectacle and illusion to life. Magic was first recorded around 2700 B.C.E. when Dedi performed a ball and cup trick in ancient Egypt. However, it is likely that it is even older!
Once a staple of fairs and marketplaces, it has become a performance art seen on television, online, and in live venues. If you’ve ever wanted to learn what was behind the card tricks, illusions, and sleight of hand of stage magic, then we have a magic teacher for you!

FAQ
Can I learn magic online?
Yes, you can learn magic online! In fact, online learning and performance open up a whole new world for your magical skills. The use of cameras and video allows you to use new media and offers new opportunities to dazzle a larger audience than you could ever reach in person.
Learning through and about online resources opens up the options available to you as a student and performer. Not only can you learn traditional sleight of hand and illusion, but you can also learn to use camera angles and other video tricks to expand your repertoire.
Online learning also means that you aren’t confined to magic teachers in your area—you can choose the best online magic lessons right here at TakeLessons! Our individualized instructors will work with you to develop your skills at your pace. One-on-one instruction allows you to tailor your magic lessons to your goals and needs, so you can develop your own performance style, voice, and repertoire.
How do I start learning magic?
Magic as a performance art requires many skills, from psychology to fine motor control. Working one-on-one with a magic teacher is a great way to learn the patter, tricks, and creativity necessary to wow audiences. Over time, you will develop your own approach to magic and a performance style unique to you, and individual instruction makes that easier than a one-size-fits-all video or classroom experience.
Perseverance, practice, and performance are all part of the learning process for magicians. As you develop your dexterity, you will be capable of more advanced tricks, but this process requires time and patience. The benefits reach far beyond sleight of hand, making all the effort worthwhile. As you see what’s behind the curtain, you will develop an eye for spotting what others are hiding, making you a better critical thinker and more informed consumer of media. It’s hard to fool a magician!
