Magic Tricks in Youth Programs

This is just so awesome. I wish they’d done things like this when I was a kid!

A local youth program in Washington state is teaching kids how to perform magic tricks.

Ten-year-old Jared Winders’s favorite magic trick involves two cards. “But I can’t tell you how to do it,” said Jared, who lives in Tenino, “Magicians don’t tell secrets.”

A Lacey Parks and Recreation program, the six week course is taught to kids by magician Tod Alan. The class meets once a week and the kids are taught everything from simple magic tricks to more complex illusions and escapes.

I think this is a very cool thing to do, and not only because i’m such a magic freak. Everyone knows kids love magic tricks, so a program like this really gets thier attention and helps to keep them out of trouble elsewhere
