By participating in classes, students learn how to work as a team to achieve their goals and perform complex illusions. Learning cooperation and communication skills is incredibly important for children during the learning process, and performing magic creates a fun way for them to practice these essential life skills. From practicing with a partner to working with a whole group, students can learn how to collaborate more effectively by taking part in magical activities during summer camp.

Putting on a magic show or performing a single magic trick involves solving a range of problems. From the practice required to the timing and audience management, magic tricks can require a lot of problem-solving skills. Problem-solving is an important life skill that students need to learn and perfect, and mastering a magic trick creates space to subtly practice these skills in an enjoyable way.

This helps get students to be creative with the solutions they come up with!
