Learn card magic from an experienced teacher, performer, and lifelong magician

Want to wow your friends with sleight-of-hand? Want to amaze and frustrate your family as they try to figure out how you’ve blown their minds? Then you’ve come to the right place! I’m a magician with two years of teaching experience who wants to share my passion and secrets to help you learn and perfect our craft. It’s never too early or late to start learning card magic, and I welcome students of all ages. For beginners we’ll start with the basic fundamentals of pinky breaks, double lifts, grips, and force picks, growing from there to open a whole world of opportunities for card tricks. For intermediates I’ll help you perfect the basics and explore new areas of magic: creating your own tricks; working on second/bottom deals; amplifying your patter, performance, and stage presence; and practicing advanced passes. Whether you’ve never handled cards before, or are looking to spice up your magic routine with new techniques, I’ll be there to help! Shoot me a message to see if we would make a good match. I can’t wait to start working with you!

About Connor C.

4.9
(14)
Hi! My name’s Connor, and I’m a college student studying Statistics and Political Theory. I’ve been teaching and performing magic professionally for over 2 years and I approach teaching magic analytically and creatively. I break tricks down, teaching students to create their own stories and characters while performing shocking tricks. Here’s a bit of my own magic story! I was first introduced to magic at a camp at the age of 9 and have loved card magic ever since. This inspired me to learn more, and I never really stopped, only falling more in love with it every day. My skills and tricks are self-taught, as I studied books and online videos and dedicated countless hours to improving my skills. My high-school journalism team featured me in a video about magic, which is the most-watched video they’ve ever produced. The summer camp where I initially learned magic hired me to teach, and I worked there for two summers as their lead Magician, teaching magic to thousands of kids aged 8-16. Additionally, I performed in shows for the camp with audiences of over 500 people, where I perfected my performance and public speaking skills. I began doing events, performing at parties, and teaching and performing at nursing homes. Now, as a college student, I regularly perform for students and faculty across campus, do virtual shows, and was recently featured in my university’s newspaper. I can’t wait to teach you the performing art of magic and help you brighten the world with your talent!

Thirty minutes is too little time. Connor is pleasant but I need to relax and decide whether I wish to continue as I seek FUN and amusement and this could be A Long Process before this Elder mould begin to relax and be at ease

Connor was just wonderful! He taught simple card tricks to my two grandchildren, who are 8 and 10. His one-hour lesson was superbly organized to provide an introduction to different types of magic card tricks. He was personable, very encouraging and patient, clearly explaining how the tricks were done and giving the boys time to practice themselves. I would highly recommend him, and felt he provided extremely good value for money. Thanks Connor!!
