Magical Circus Workshop

Join the magical circus workshop as ringmaster Crystal Wright introduces learning magic, encourages practice, humor, and courage, and invites questions with a fun, supportive approach.

Learn to juggle with plastic bags and scarves by practicing controlled throws, catches, and rhythmic left-right sequences, progressing from one bag to two and then three with color cues.

Learn to juggle with a one-ball flow, throwing to the highest point and catching, then progress to two-ball and two-in-one-hand patterns, using different ball types, including silicon-filled varieties.

Learn to make juggling balls in the magical circus workshop by filling a freezer bag with about 100 grams of rice, sealing with two balloons, and practicing two-ball juggling.

Learn the magic toothpick illusion by concealing a toothpick with sticky tape on the back of the thumb, delivering it on one, two, three, then revealing it.

Master the magic pencil with optical illusion tricks: make the pencil appear rubbery, vanish and reappear from ear, mouth, hat, or back, emphasizing practice.

Explore modern mind reading by guiding participants to think of a carrot as the first vegetable and confirming it, then think of a four-legged animal and reveal it through illustration.

Explore a magic trick using a common Ziploc bag, where the bag moves with your hands to create a magical illusion, with simple steps and a few supplies like scissors.

Learn the magic of the paper clip with an elastic band as you move the clip up the band using wiggle, release, and practice techniques.

Explore mime through isolation against a wall, using props like a kazoo, hat, or whistle, and practice with a mirror or camera to refine hand and head movements.

Concentrate to balance objects, watching the highest point, advancing from finger to thumb to nose. Practice with items like a feather, curtain rod, or bag, holding poses for ten seconds.

Master plate spinning with plastic plates, learning spins, flips, and balance while spinning on a stick, starting slowly, speeding up, and resting the plate on your finger or thumb.

Learn to make sock poi from tennis balls and socks, then practice basic moves from single to double poi, including forward and backward swings, cross arms, wave, and butterfly.

Develop your circus performance through practice, humor, and courage to try new ideas; explore roving characters, stilt walkers, magicians, clowns, mime, fire shows, and workshops with professional indemnity insured artists.
