Magic 101 - Tips and Tricks of the Trade with Amazin Jason


Budding magicians will learn real slight of hand sidewalk style magic as well as
comedy magic with cards, coins, silks, and many other everyday objects. Students will
learn some of the same magic they have seen on TV performed by David Blaine,
Criss Angel and David Copperfield. They will also learn how to make coins vanish,
cards float, and silks vanish into thin air. Magic is an art form dating back as far as
B.C. practiced in Egypt, India and Russia. When practiced and done correctly Magic
will amaze and amuse your friends and family and can open many new doors. It is a
great way to break the ice when meeting new friends. Classes will be held every
Wednesday from 9:00-2:30 for 12 weeks starting August 27th and ending November
12th.

Mad Science - Hands-on Fun Science with The Mad Science Company

In this interactive Science class, young Scientists will participate in hands on experiments in small groups, individually, and as assistants to the instructor in
dynamic interactive demonstrations. Every class will have something cool to make
and/or take home. Take-home cards each session also indicate to parents “what we
learned” and introduce “Lets try this at home” activities to reinforce what was
presented. Each class is focused on a different topic, with topics ranging from
physical to natural, biological and environmental science. All programs are taught by
an enthusiastic and experienced Mad Scientist utilizing inquiry based instructional
methods. By immersing children in the scientific method we help develop critical and
investigative thinking skills. Classes will be held every
Wednesday from 9:00-2:30 for 12 weeks starting August 27th and ending November
12th.
