School of Modern Magic

Grace who is 11 years old, and her brother Matthew who is nine years old, were among the first children to take part in the School of Modern Magic Course in Summer 2009.

"I chose this course because I liked the idea of learning how tricks are performed" said Grace.  "I have always liked magic and wanted to try some of the tricks at home" added Matthew.

Grace also took part in the Hockey and the Cookery courses whilst Matthew attended the Football and the Racket Sports course.

Both Grace and Matthew have learnt lots of magic skills during the week long course including various card tricks, illusion tricks and even some mind reading!  "The magician teaching the course was very good and explained what was happening and how each trick is performed" said Grace. 

When asked to describe the course in a couple of words, Grace replied "amazing and magical!" whilst Matthew described it as "exciting and excellent."

Grace would like to try the Circus Skills course next whilst Matthew is keen to try the Tennis course in the future.  "I like looking at all the photos in the Holiday Activity Course brochure before choosing a course" said Matthew whilst Grace added that she always likes the brochure front cover.
