"Growing confidence in children through the learning and performing of magic tricks."
Here's a four-minute video overview of the curriculum used in our children's magic classes for ages 7-12.
Thanks to our sponsor Taylor Made Home Solutions two magicians (ages 10-20 years old) have their registrations paid each summer to Tannen's Magic Camp. Complete the form at the bottom of this page to receive more information about this opportunity.
Based on the much-acclaimed Tarbell Course In Magic, this curriculum for youth ages 12-17 has both foundational modules on such subjects as stage presence, routining a show, and making money from magic as well as over 50 elective modules based on the student's interests (i.e. card magic, coin magic, stage illusions, mental magic, escapes, comedy magic, manipulation, etc.)
Also included are performing opportunities using the club's collection of stage illusions.
All of our modules combine classroom teaching and mentoring with an online video reinforcement component.
Steve leads our team of instructors teaching magic classes for children and youth beginning at age 7. As a past president of The Omaha Magical Society, he knows the importance of working with and through other people to create a fun environment that helps build confidence and character in young people as they learn the art of magic.
His combined life experience as a corporate trainer and youth worker along with his background as a magician for children and families makes him ideally suited for working with young people - passing along the art of magic to the next generation.
Here is a collection of research surrounding magic-based interventions and their effects on well-being.
