Yes! Magic is an interactive art. We feel the most important benefits to be derived from magic come from performing for others.

There is a complex cycle of verbal and non-verbal communication flowing between the performer and the people watching that is unique to magic.

We’ve developed a system that will insure every child gets to perform for someone, several times, in the positive, nurturing classroom environment.

This is not a magic class with life skills “sprinkled in”… it’s a life skills course camouflaged as a magic class. Each class features one of the 8 traits of a true magician. These are the 8 important life skills we teach: Confidence, Respectfulness, Enthusiasm, Authenticity, Creativity, Humbleness, Preparedness, and Giving.

Absolutely!

We have created a totally safe and nurturing environment for your child’s first few performances inside every class.  And try particularly hard to insure a child’s confidence has every opportunity to grow from the very beginning.

Yes and yes! Although historically, more boys than girls get into magic, in recent years that has changed.

There are more girls than ever before performing magic and the percentage of girls learning magic is increasing every year! Charlotte Academy of Magic was developed with these changes in mind.

The Charlotte Academy of Magic curriculum features a wide range of magic—from making things appear and disappear to reading minds and passing a solid through a solid.

Many of these tricks are unique to our program, and they all feature a kid-friendly presentation.

Yes! Every trick is simple enough for a beginner and designed for small hands.

No prior experience is necessary.
