Teach Magic - Get Routine

Developing a routine by teaching a trick.


I've been teaching beginner magic classes for many years, even before I started teaching with Circus Camp in 1992. I've compiled many of those tricks and other bits in my book Learn Magic with Mister Greggy. It's also an instant author system which I've been updating.

I really enjoy teaching, and I'm getting pretty good at it. One of the things I've noticed is I develop simple routines with each trick I teach, so I can use those tricks when I do strolling work (since they are all close-up).

The latest trick I've been teaching, not included in the book, it a ring climbing up a rubber-band. Very simple in technique, most kids 7 and older can do it after just a bit of practice.

When I first demonstrate the trick I do a short routine so they know what trick I'm teaching. I don't have a video of my actual routine, but here's a kid online demonstrating the trick so you have a better idea what I'm talking about.

 

We have office spaces available for rent!

Circus Camp Workshop Space... looking promising!
--------------------------------------------------
UPDATE (06-02-2017): Sad to report, we were not able to lease the building. While in the process of finalizing the paperwork, somebody swooped in and purchased the entire building. Bummer.


HOWEVER... We are still looking for a workshop/warehouse space! Very interested in sharing and/or subleasing. Contact me for details.

One of my favorite things to do is create stuff. Web sites, posters, logos, comedy routines, magician tables, props, backdrops, comic strips, etc etc. I even enjoy building things that don't actually exist in the real world because they only exist in the virtual world Second Life. Since I'm working with Circus Camp basically full time now, many of the projects are for our summer camps and other classes.

However, having a place to build has always been an issue. I have been looking for a space over the last few years. Our ultimate goal is to find a permanent location for Circus Camp so we can teach year-round classes under the name Circus Campus (I already bought the domain name). But for now, a workshop space is much needed, around 800 - 1200 square feet.

Well, I found a great spot in Chamblee near 285, 85, P'tree Ind, and Buford Hwy. Easy to drive to and an easy bike ride from the Chamblee Marta Station. It's plenty big enough for the many many projects I have waiting in the wings.

Plus, there are 4 small office spaces available that we will be renting out... with lots of perks!
