Learn Mind-Blowing Street Magic

Even in this age of artificial intelligence and movie CGI, a good magic trick can still be astonishing, thought-provoking, and maddening. Local Bedford semi-pro magician David Pogue has just published a new edition of his classic how-to book “Magic for Dummies”—and to celebrate, he’s offering a joyous, in-person, hands-on, 90-minute magic master class, right in the Playhouse café!

You’ll learn to perform impromptu street-magic tricks that require no special props and no preparation. These are tricks with ordinary objects like forks, pencils, string, cards, and your phone—so that whenever anyone says, “Do a trick!” without warning, you’ll be ready! These tricks occupy that rarest of spheres: incredibly easy to do, but utterly baffling to audience members. You’ll feel your confidence growing with every new trick you learn.

David will supply everything you need, including cards!

SPACE IS LIMITED.  Copies of “Magic for Dummies” will be available for sale.
