Fun With Magic

If you like Magic, it's even better when you can do it!

Magic is a great ice breaker and can be used to entertain adults and children alike. Use your Fun With Magic skills in the house, at the office, or while traveling.

This eight-week course will introduce you to many kinds of magic. We use a variety of items, including: cards, coins, ropes, silks, some common household items, and some classics of magic (e.g., "cups and balls"). Although the course is designed for the beginner, we try to accomodate repeating students with new, more advanced material for them.

Teachers: Stan Sieler, John Brittain, Carson Kan, and others.

The course is part of the Fremont Union High School District's Adult Community Education program, is class number 204247, and is usally offered every quarter. (See note at end of this page about online registration.) FUHSD ACE charges a registration fee of $41 for the summer quarter. A materials fee of $15 is payable to the instructor at the first class.

Past students have included doctors, lawyers, judges, computer programmers, grandparents, high school students, police officers, military personnel, company presidents, secretaries, electricians, teachers, retirees, and more ... anyone can learn magic!
