Mystery Academy is a school offering a complete course of instruction in the Art of Magic for children. Students of Mystery Academy learn a wide variety of magic tricks and presentational skills, as well as dramatic presentation, comedy, manual dexterity, and positive ideals. Classes and camps are designed to be age- and skill-appropriate.
Mystery Academy is founded on the idea that the magic as a performing art combines the best of many arts and sciences to produce a student who is disciplined, self-motivated, imaginative and confident.
We also have classes and Summer Camps in Variety Arts: Carnival and Junior Carnival, Clowning and Comedy, and Mysteries of the Universe.
"My daughter just completed your magic class at [deleted] Elementary School. I just wanted to tell you how much she enjoyed the class. Anyone who enters our house is now treated to a few magic tricks! Thank you again for your instruction and enthusiasm."
