Great magicians know: focused training leads to stronger magic.
Why Choose Stronger Magic?
“I’ve been a performing magician for over 30 years, and teacher for over 20. Let me help you get to where you want to go.”
- Interactive: The #1 benefit of face-to-face sessions is it allows me to watch you do something, give tips and drills to improve, and help assess what should come next. Every session is customized around your needs, abilities, and goals.
- Coaching: Most of us need a push now and then. Someone to hold us accountable and keep us moving toward our goals. Because it is easy to get lost in a sea of information, I will keep you focused on things within your skill range, that will work, and most importantly, will be useful to you under a variety of circumstances.
- Vision: Being able to see how skills are valuable will play a big part in incentivizing your practice. I will try to give context to what skills/techniques/effects have the most bang for their buck, and also a general sense of their learning curve.
- Video Journal: While not required, this is a way you can track your own progress. It also allows me to make comments regarding “next step” improvements.
- Object Lessons: One of the main points to training is to learn the secret code built in to deceptive routines. Know more than how to parrot the style of others, learn the elemental building blocks that, once understood, allow you to build whatever you want.
- Technique: Sleights, Body Tension, Motivated Actions, Structure, Etc. Performance: Scripting, Character, Theme, Show Design, Etc.
- Business: Turning Pro, Negotiating Fees, Advertising, Etc.
- Online Documents: Use of Google Docs to track inventory, set goals, and develop scripts.
- Footage Assessment: Live footage will allow me to see how you interact with other people. The quality of your footage is of less concern than just getting something documented.
