*Magic and Showmanship Instructions!* Jack Palur, professional magician and director in the Northern Ohio area for the last 45 years, is now taking additional students in performance magic and showmanship. This course is appropriate for all ages, from as young as eight years old, to professionals, (including actors, teachers, and other performers), who want to expand their skills. Classes are scheduled as hour-long sessions, teaching the basics of close-up magic, including the use of every day objects, utility moves to develop dexterity and lessons on building a magic act, as well as showmanship and the fundamentals of magical performance. The curriculum is adjusted for each student's needs. Each participant will learn many slight of hand routines, as well as parlor magic, street magic, comedy magic, mind-reading, the business of getting booked, and other forms of popular prestidigitation. This is a one-on-one instruction course on how to become a magician or a better performer. Mr. Palur has been teaching this mini-course in schools and libraries in the Northern Ohio area for over twenty years! He has taught for Young Audience's "ArtWorks" program in University Circle and the Boy Scouts of America, as well as many individual performers that have gone on to book their own shows! He works with recommended books, study programs, and customizes the class to meet the needs of the participants. Plus, it is a lot of fun! Mr. Palur can adapt to any student's schedule and meet as frequently as requested. Classes are held at his office in Sheffield Lake, where he has a wide selection books, videos and magic tricks to experience. Groups are welcome, including theatre casts, scout troops, school classrooms, and other clubs or groups!Ask about our group rates. Call today for open dates and more information! J.P.
