Julian's Magician School is for everyone. Who should use this site?

Kids - there's loads of tricks for you to learn at Magician School.

Mums and Dads- loads of information to encourage your young David and Davina Copperfields.

Cool 15 year olds - probably not much for you here

Cool SMART 15 yr olds - there is so much here for you. Just pick what suits you and leave the rest.

Adults - Start a new career or get a handful of fun tricks to entertain with.

Anyone who works with kids will find bits here at Magician School to make your day easier.

Growing a solid magic career is no different from growing up. You need the right diet; the right mix of fluff and substance. Tricks alone, without a little understanding of the bigger magic picture is like a diet of lollies without any vegetables. You're just not going to be as good as you could be.

You'll find a good mix of both in these magician school pages. Never lose sight of the fact that as well as trying to put the *zing* back into amazing, above all - in my opinion at least - magic is meant to be fun.

You'll find a treasure of simple magic tricks at magician school, insights into the wonderful world of magic and even how to start your balloon twisting career.

What sets Julian's Magician School apart is I don't just teach you the trick, I give you a small routine so you can actually perform the trick for others. Once you start experiencing the satisfaction of being able to make people smile and laugh, you, like me, might start to realise that magic tricks actually do have some magical powers.

Here's some fun things to do alongside
your magic tricks ...
