Magic Is a Great Hobby For Kids - Five Reasons Why

Absorbing and Fascinating Magic is the perfect pastime for children because it enters them into a world of secrets, mystery and imagination.

Kids love secrets, they also love the wonder of seeing magicians and to learn how to do this themselves is totally absorbing.

Conjuring is fascinating to study because is spans so many areas- there's the colourful personalities that performed magic, the history of magic, the psychology of magic and the stagecraft and showmanship.
When a child gets the magic bug they can spend many happy hours studying some sleight of hand, perfecting a trick then infusing it with their own imagination and personality.
Inexpensive Magic is an inexpensive hobby for kids because a good book or DVD teaching magic tricks with ordinary objects such as coins, cards or string will offer so much.

In fact, some of the most impressive magic is done close up with ordinary objects such as when a rope is cut in half and magically restored again.

When a child learns few magic techniques a whole world of magical opportunities opens up and a little imagination goes a long way.

If your young magician likes to make things then the possibilities are even greater as many props are fairly simple to make as they rely on simple principles, your kid could build a whole stage show! A Hobby For Life The very long history of magic (there are records in Egyptian hieroglyphics) means that is a vast, almost endless amount of tricks for children to discover, learn and perform. Magic goes into and out of vogue, often reinventing itself for modern audiences As your children's magic hobby grows and they become more proficient, there are ever more sophisticated magic tricks for them to learn. Their performance experience may lead them to join magic clubs and compete in magic competitions, possibly performing magic for money and almost certainly performing magic tricks for their children! Magic encourages discipline For children and adults alike, learning magic tricks takes some discipline because the moves and presentation require solid rehearsal to look good. Some sleight of hand requires a lot of practice to perfect, but, it will offer a lifetime of magical skills.
Then, there's the discipline required to infuse a magic trick with the young magician's personality and doing it in a way no other magician does.
Once the young magician starts to perform and amaze friends and family, he or she will get the reward for all that practice and be spurred on to carry on.

Confidence Performing magic tricks in front of people, whether family and friends or complete strangers can be a little nerve racking at first, but repeatedly doing this builds confidence and the young magician's new confidence will inevitably help them in other ways in their life.
Kids who can do a few magic tricks will enjoy entertaining people at parties.

Magic is the greatest hobby for kids! Children remember the sense of wonder they felt seeing a magician for the first time and they often want to become that magician. Once a child has the magic bug they will have an endlessly fascinating, inexpensive, life-long, confidence building, discipline building hobby.

Magic is simply magic!
