Sleight of Hand Magic - A Reprise
Class | Registration opens 11/11/2026 12:00 PM EST
The appeal of magic has no boundaries. It strikes a chord with people of all ages. This course provides an opportunity to actually learn how to do magic from a professional magician. Bruce Cronin has performed in top night clubs and theaters throughout North America.
Using common everyday objects such as rubber balls, coins, ropes and playing cards, students will be taught skills as well as effective presentation techniques. Whether you are a beginner wanting to learn a few tricks to entertain family members or an already-practicing magician wanting to improve your skills, this course has something for you.
A bonus: Since all of the magic will be realized by clever use of the hands, the participant’s manual dexterity will be challenged and no doubt improved.
