After School Magic Club's

​Our magic clubs are about children having fun.

Welcome to an amazing world of performing arts, fun and laughter for children. Most children are not used to standing up and performing in-front of a crowd, so we teach magic using the 3 P's (Presentation - Patter - Performance). Over time this helps children build confidence and life skills, eventually happy to stand up and perform in front of an audience.

​We also show that by working together as a team you become successful, by having children work in pairs according to ability which also allows us to demonstrate that mistakes are good as we all learn from them. After week three/four, children have learnt to listen and take instruction on-board, which helps them in the classroom.

Children develop at different speeds, but with the support of their friends, when they perform a trick there's lots of clapping and cheering which increases self esteem and boost their confidence.

'After School Magic Club'
​A fantastic success

The after school magic clubs started as lunchtime workshops.
..








We did not realise the fun children would have and how our clubs helped build confidence and increased self-esteem.

They have been so successful that we now have three different magic clubs, one for each term.


Professor Richard Wiseman, a psychologist based at Hertfordshire University, said: "it taught self-discipline, social skills and developed self-esteem, confidence, empathy and interaction". 

Mr Ian Black (headteacher) at Watling Primary School in Dunstable, said: "We evaluated every child who attended the after school magic club, and everyone's grades went up. More importantly, it was interesting to see how many of the children who attended were those who were difficult to engage". 

Each term, children are taught a series of (professional) magic tricks, this builds into a show.
 
The last club is Graduation Day and children can dress up and put on small shows to each other. Parents can attend at the end to see their child receiving their Magic Club of Great Britain certificates.

We are happy to come to your school with a FREE magic assembly to see the demand. 
​
Clubs usually sell out with a waiting list.

Magic Helps Children To
  • Build Confidence
  • Increase Self Esteem
  • Helps children to Concentrate
  • Teaches Teamwork 
  • Develop presentation skills
  • Helps with communication skills
  • Learn how to listen ​

Frequently Asked Question
How much will the after school magic club cost parents? 
The cost for each club is £6.00/child/session.

Is there any minimum or maximum numbers?
We need a minimum of 8 children for the club to run and a maximum or 15. To sell the club we are happy to visit your school and do a small assembly (lasts for 10 minutes). We show the children two of the tricks they will be learning.

​We normally find we found no problem getting the numbers required.

How do we support schools?
We are happy to supply you with a parents letter which explains everything about the after school magic club and includes a booking form.

What about booking and payment?
Parents can book and pay online (BACs) or we are happy for them to leave booking forms and payment (in an envelope) with the school office. We will collect all envelopes a few days before the clubs start. However if you have your own booking and invoicing system we are happy to work with it.

What do we need to hold the club?
All we need for the After School Magic Club to go ahead is a classroom or hall. 

Additional information
  • Clubs run for an hour after schools.  
  • Clubs are not held during ‘Half Term’ week, they will continue the week after.

Dear Eugene

Thank you for running the Magic Club so successfully at Maple Primary School again this half-term.

We are delighted that our pupils are given this opportunity not only to learn how to do magic tricks, but also to learn the skills of performing to an audience.  Developing these presentation skills will stand them in good stead for their future, both at secondary school and ultimately in the world of work.

One particularly boy who has attended the Magic Club has changed from being a quiet, reserved child in class to one who now has a great deal more self-confidence and who is engaged more with his classroom learning.  He appears to enjoy school more and, as a result, is now making good academic progress.

We look forward to the club resuming after Christmas and thank you again for running it so well.

Best regards

Tim Bowen

Hi Eugene

I just wanted to feedback how pleased I've been with the magic club for my son Robert. Previously he's not been very confident or keen to participate in front of an audience, so it was really lovely to see him so eager to join in and show us everything he's learned in the end of term show.

My husband asked why so many people come to your show with balls in their ears? (sorry!)

Robert says he has really enjoyed it and has learnt a lot, I look forward to him continuing with the club next term.

All the best

"The children at Copley Junior School have all thoroughly enjoyed the Magic Club.

They have been so excited to learn the different magic tricks and then perform these to an audience of parents. This has really helped children to develop their confidence, presentation skills and self esteem.

The interest in the club has had significant impact in increasing the number of children attending after school provision.

I would certainly encourage every school to get in contact with Magic Club!"

Dear Eugene,

I just wanted to drop you a line to thank you for your magical lessons you give to your group at Priory Junior School.

Orsi talks about your sessions a lot, I know how much she enjoys it! Through your magic tricks our children learn not only how to be a confident and funny presenter, but more importantly how to be a good team player, how to support each other and build up their confidence. These are essential skills in life and you teach them in a way that all the children enjoy, that's why we keep coming back to your sessions for the fourth time now. And we'll keep it on!

I must admit, it's not only Orsi who has great fun, I myself also enjoy your presentations and love to see the proud children at the end-of-term shows. I hope you will carry on so we can be part of the fun for a long time!

Kindest regards,

Olga Mezovari (Orsi's mum)

Dear Eugene

Thank you so much for the lunch tine magic club, what an amazing and  positive start. Being a special needs school it is very difficult to engage pupils and keep concentration. 


The children were totally engaged and concentrated so well that I now realised we can add fine motor control to our outcomes. 

It was fantastic.

Thank you so much.
