Summer Magic Camp
A week that turns curious kids into real performers — sleight of hand, showmanship, and a live stage show on Friday for family and friends.
Registering for this summer? Spots are booked on our camp site, nwmagiccamp.com.
We teach real magic, and treat kids like real performers
No plastic wands and pretend spells. Campers learn genuine sleight of hand, the secrets behind real routines, and how to command a stage — the same craft our working magicians use every weekend. By Friday, every camper has a polished act.
- Close-up magic — cards, coins, and everyday-object miracles
- Stagecraft — timing, patter, misdirection, and presence
- Performance confidence that carries far beyond magic

Parent questions
Does my kid need any experience?
None at all. We start from zero and group campers by age and experience, so total beginners and budding magicians both leave with a real act.
What should they bring?
A packed lunch, a water bottle, and a good attitude. We provide all the magic — cards, props, and secrets included.
How big are the groups?
Small by design. Magic is taught hands-on, so every camper gets real coaching, not a seat in a crowd.
Who teaches it?
Our working performers — the same magicians who headline our weekend shows. Kids learn from people who actually do this for a living.
Where exactly is it?
Inside our theater on the second floor of Lloyd Center, Portland — the real stage your camper performs on Friday.
