Learning and performing magic tricks remains one of those activities that caregivers and their children can truly enjoy together.
Consequently, The Omaha Magical Society offers their ground-breaking Magic That Matures™ classes (described below) to families in underserved areas at no cost to caregivers who qualify.
While the children learn magic tricks, parents and caregivers are given opportunities to repeatedly practice giving effective feedback.
Whether you're a family who might enjoy such a program or a non-profit that believes the families you serve might benefit from such an experience, please use the button below to express your interest or ask any questions that might come to mind.
Here's a three-minute video providing an overview of our Magic That Matures™ curriculum.
The Red Cup, The Blue Cup, and The Yellow Cup level of the Magic That Matures™ curriculum each contains eight magic tricks taught in four fifty-minute classes (with access to follow-up online videos made available to each family at the conclusion of every class).
Upon successful performance of the tricks at each level, one of the colored cups is awarded to the participant along with a bonus magic trick that can be done with that cup. Upon successful completion of all three stages, the participant owns his/her own set of what is historically believed to be the oldest magic trick in the history of the art - The Cups and Balls.
Here is a collection of research surrounding magic-based interventions and their effects on well-being.
