We have had great success with our youth in the SYM Assembly
#3. In past years, many of our members have perform at a local magic convention
and at the Mile High Magicians Society public show. Some of you might have even
seen one of our members performing at Elitch’s! But we have done so much
more!
We have performed magic at many local events. We have had a
wonderful time performing for Senior Retirement Communities, the Denver Homeless
Shelter, the Denver Children’s Museum, the Rotary Club, Libraries, Schools and
we had the pleasure of performing for the Make A Wish Foundation at the
Children’s Hospital.
We are available to perform at your special
event!
If you are between the ages of seven to seventeen, and are
interested in the performance of magic, you’ve come to the right place. Magic
tricks and magicians are having a resurgence of popularity again thanks in part
to performers like David Copperfield, Lance Burton, Mac King, and Penn and
Teller. Many celebrities started out as young magicians including Johnny Carson,
Dick Cavett, Neil Patrick Harris, Jason Alexander, Muhammad Ali, Steve Martin,
and Woody Allen.
Magic as a hobby?
It’s not just about the secrets. Performing the art of magic as
a hobby produces some great positive results including:
Confidence by performing in front of people and entertaining
them
Hand-Eye Coordination
Discipline in the study of the craft
Trust in the keeping of secrets and methods
Friendships around the world with other fellow magic
enthusiasts
Popularity and the ability to make new friends
Studies in art and culture
Is it hard to perform magic?
Like any art, it takes practice and a willingness to study. Of course it also
has to be fun! Much like music lessons, some people play at home for family
while others become concert maestros. Whether you perform magic for your friends
or as a way to pay for college, amazing your audience can be a very rewarding
experience.
