Our Team Building Day Magic Workshop is fun, entertaining and full of participation.

Everyone is included in an unusual learning process that will arm your staff with the ability to amaze and amuse people evermore, whether starting a meeting with something a bit different or entertaining friends at a party.

You can’t teach an old dog new tricks. Or can you?!

Magic requires a process of creativity, problem-solving, and learning. Then practice, performance and feedback, followed by practice, performance and feedback. 

An introductory 1 or 2 hours won’t make anyone an expert magician but it will be enlightening (e.g. how to learn misdirection, creativity, problem-solving etc.) and lots of fun. Participants may well be outside their comfort zone to start with, but learning how to captivate an audience is quite an achievement.

Participants openly learn from mistakes and improve through an iterative feedback/review process. It is an engaging process and a fabulous experience to learn to deliver magic well. And the participants will find that they can continue to develop/improve with every performance long after the workshop.

Our workshop can be tailored to suit an underlying business theme too – so far these have included: creativity, learning vs resistance to change, interpersonal skills, being yourself, rapport building, engaging an audience, communication, developing confidence, and a bonding experience for new work teams through a shared experience… and a great concept from learning magic – don’t be afraid to fail!

What Happens in a Magic Workshop?
Our Magician teaches small groups of 5-20 people at a time. At team building days with large numbers and lots of activities the Magician can teach each group different magic, e.g. one group might learn magic and another mind-reading. This way the groups bond within their team over their top secret magical knowledge and they can practice on other teams, and amaze/entertain their immediate colleagues. We start with a quick magic show to get everyone laughing and enthusiastic, whilst including performing some of the tricks they will learn in the workshop. It’s a nice surprise for the participants to find out they will be able to perform something they have just seen.

PRESENTATION SKILL WORKSHOP

Our magic workshop is very often themed specifically to help staff with their presentation skills.

Apparently, studies have asked business people “What scares you most?” Second on the list “Dying”.  First: “Public speaking”!

By learning a few magic tricks participants find that they go very quickly from a position of zero knowledge to standing on their feet and performing.

We focus on the "4 P" structure of pppprofessionalism - Planning, Preparation, Practice and Performance.

By creating this structure and providing feedback in a fun and friendly environment participants find their way of coping with the stress of public speaking and discovering the steps they need to take to go about doing it well - and maybe even looking forward to the opportunity!

Everything is provided for our workshops.

Using playing cards, business cards and everyday objects, participants can learn a host of magical effects: from simple close-up party pieces to astounding magic you could perform on a stage to hundreds... how to make amazing predictions, read minds, perform incredible maths calculations, and maybe learn some proposition bets to scam their friends too!
