Chris Whitelock Magic Lessons a Christmas Gift to Remember

Do you have a budding magician in the family? Would you like to conjure up the kind of thoughtful Christmas (or birthday) gift you can’t buy in the shops? How about treating them to Chris Whitelock’s magic lessons? The original interactive gift idea!

Magic appeals to children and adults alike, so it doesn’t matter how young or old your budding Dynamo or Richard Jones is; they’re bound to appreciate the opportunity to learn a bit of magic themselves.

When it comes to gifts, what do you get the person who has everything? We often give others something we secretly want ourselves, so maybe you’re the one you should be treating! Maybe you’d love to surprise everyone at a party, at school, or at the golf club by learning magic.

What to expect

During an hour’s lesson, I teach a mix of close-up magic tricks. The tricks are designed to be easy to learn and, like any kind of magic, can be practiced afterwards to perfect the sleight of hand and produce a real wow factor. All the props and materials are supplied, which the student can keep after the lesson. I think the best part of my job is producing gasps of amazement and astonishment on the faces of my audiences, especially as these are usually followed with broad smiles and lots of laughter. You can find much more about the magic I perform on my YouTube channel.

Magic boosts confidence

Scientists have even discovered that learning a bit of magic can boost a child’s confidence and social skills. Dr. Richard Wiseman from the Open University organised magic lessons for schoolchildren aged between 10 and 12 and found some interesting results. “Showing and teaching children magic tricks encourages skills such as self-discipline—unless you practice magic skills, you will fail—and critical thinking. It also helps children think from another person’s perspective and consider how they are feeling.”

It’s also a wonderful way to get your child to take an interest in starting hobbies. With so many smartphones and technology, equipping your child with a few tricks can spark their imagination and help them learn a new skill.

Parties

In addition to one-on-one lessons, I’m also available for bespoke magic lesson parties. This is a combination of magic lessons for all guests, as well as a magic show. All ages are catered for. To find out more about what’s involved in the magic lesson party, please get in touch.

“Hi Chris
Just a quick one to say a big thank you for performing at Anna’s magic lesson party. All the girls had a great time and I’ve had lots of really positive feedback from the other mum’s who have all been treated to magic shows. The magic lesson and show was perfect and will certainly recommend you to anyone looking for something different for a party.
Thanks again
Caroline, Adrian and Anna”
