THE ART OF ILLUSION STARTS HERE

Future Stars Magic Camp is an exciting program where boys and girls learn amazing feats of magic and illusion. Campers will construct tricks and master some of the great “tricks of the trade.” Coins will disappear, ropes will be cut and restored, aces will fly from the deck, and glasses of water will vanish into thin air!

In addition to performing close-up miracles, campers will showcase their skills in a magical end-of-session performance, wowing others with the illusions they’ve learned.
