Magic Academy! – Summer 2026

Featuring the internationally recognized and award winning ‘Discover Magic’ curriculum, professional magician Aaron Fasel will amaze you with new tricks and guide you in how to perform them yourself! Each week, junior magicians will focus on one of the Eight Traits of a True Magician and leave class with a new prop and file folder for their magic dossier so they can perform at home.
