Make your wand, learn tricks, and create your own magic shows!

Your Magic Library is a fast-paced and wacky in-person video hybrid class that offers entertaining step-by-step instructions on magic and stage performance and helps to develop valuable physical, social, and performance skills in learners of all ages.

During each session, participants will watch a 30-minute adventurous video lesson starring Cody Landstrom and Wolfe Bowart followed by a 30 minute working session with The Class Librarian, Hunter Hnat. The class will also benefit from guest appearances by Wolfe Bowart.

Each participant will receive a kit with all necessary supplies prior to beginning the class to provide them with the raw materials for magic!

At the conclusion of the six weeks of sessions, the Scoundrel and Scamp will hold a special performance on November 20th in which the young magicians will put on their own magic show and take questions from the audience.
