SUMMARY:Conjuring C - 2025
DESCRIPTION:The Registration form will open on January 2\, 2025 \nThis is a 6 day hands-on workshop in conjuring. The focus is on exploring the tools used when creating engaging performance pieces. There will be loads of exercises in misdirection\, dramatic and deceptive structure\, as well as in prop making. We will examine magic theories\, apply them and discuss them in the context of performances. The course is suitable for those with moderate experience as well as experts. We will work from early morning to late night and you’ll find it both challenging and rewarding. \nThe workshop itself is free of charge\, as education is free in Sweden. But there are costs for room + meals. \nRequired prerequisite knowledge\nIn order to attend\, you must have either taken the Further Conjuring workshop\, Conjuring B\, or the Magic 1 or 2 course at DOCH\, Stockholm University of Arts. \nVenue\nThe venue is “Sigtuna Folkhögskola” (Sigtuna folk highschool)\, located in the beautiful small village Sigtuna\, not far from Arlanda Airport\, in Stockholm\, Sweden. \nInstructors\n\nThe workshop is led by Tom Stone\, Leif Olberius and Andreas Sebring. \nTom Stone is the author of several technical books on conjuring arts\, as well as a performer\, consultant\, speaker\, creator and teacher of the subject.

He’s the maker of Metal-writing\, “Eye of Odin”\, Tom Stone’s “Quantum Logic”\, and many other cool things. And as a performer\, he’s known for his innovative mentalism and for his fortunetelling character “Turbani”. \nLeif Olberius started out as a wonder kid\, performed on national TV as an 11 yrs old. Eventually\, we lost him to theater\, first theater school\, then he started his own theatre company. But the magic bug didn’t go away\, and eventually\, he returned back to us – with tools and knowledge few others in magic have. \n…there will also be a few extra guest instructors. \nLearning objective:\nOn completion of the workshop\, the student should:  \n\nHave an understanding of Tamariz’s concept of “False Solutions”.\nFeel more comfortable inserting emotion and opinion in performances.\nFeel more confident in using small tools for prop-making\n\nSchedule\nStill under development \nMonday \n8.00 Breakfast for those who arrived on Sunday.\n9.00 Check-in.\n9:30 Introduction of the courses.\n10:30 Diningroom: Fika (coffee & snacks)\n11:00 Recalling and demonstrating past workshops\n12:30 Lunch\n13:30 TED-talks.\n15:00 Fika (coffee & snacks).\n15:30 TED-talks.\n17:00 Documentation\n18:00 Dinner & dessert\n19:00 Extra event: (To be announced)\n21:00 Evening fika\n…In the evening\, there’s a bar.

You will get hundreds of ideas\, and any idea not written down will be instantly forgotten.\nYou will probably want to document some of the work you do\, so make sure you have plenty of free memory in your devices so you can film and photograph your ideas. One hour each day is dedicated to Documentation\, at 5 PM.\nIt might also be nice to share one’s notes with the group\, via some internet solution; Google Docs\, Dropbox… \nFor Leif’s classes:\nBring a non-magic related item from home. Something ordinary. Can be anything\, but you should be able to throw it around without it breaking. \nFor the propmaking classes:\nIt is good if you have clothes that you don’t have to be very careful with\, preferably clothes made of natural fibers (cotton\, linen…). Tight fitting clothes are better than loose fitting clothes that can can get caught in things. Closed-toed shoes is preferable. And a hairband to tie your hair back if it is long. \nFor the exercises in misdirection:\nBring 5-8 coins in a comfortable size.\nAlso\, bring a few identical small objects that are comfortable to finger palm (maybe small rubber balls\, balls from Cups & Balls\, small toys\, marbles\, pebbles from the ground… anything).\nAnd one object that can act as a magic wand (a wand\, a drumstick\, a large pencil\, a stirring stick for drinks… something) \nFor the exercises in structure and routine construction:\nYou need to bring 3-5 simple and short tricks that you can perform. It does not need to be good or advanced (it can even be something from a magic set for kids). But they should be different\, not too similar. The purpose is to learn how to build the structure of a routine or an act\, so the nature and quality of the actual tricks are not important. The simpler the better. \nFor the final exercise:\n(Optional) It is not necessary or essential\, but you can bring 1-2 tricks or routines you are already working with. The last exercise is to apply as much as possible of the new knowledge on one of your own routines\, but the advice is to pick either something new that is in development\, or an old piece that you’re godawfully tired of\, rather than something that is in your active repertoire\, because most people are hesitant to change something they know works well as it is. The reason we say this is optional\, is because we’ve noticed that most tend to pick something they’ve come up with during the week. Yet\, it might be good to have something\, for peace of mind\, if nothing else. \nFor the creativity exercises:\nBring a small kit of your favorite solutions.\nIf you like to use magnets and strings to solve magic problems\, bring magnets and strings.\nIf you often solve magic problems by gluing stuff together; bring glue.\nIf you tend to use black art; bring black material.\n…\nAnd if you don’t have any favorite solutions to magic problems\, don’t worry; just bring yourself. \nMusic:\nFor some of the exercises you will likely want to add music\, so load up your devices with a good assortment of music in various moods; upbeat\, sad\, happy\, spooky\, dramatic\, soft\, rhythmic…et cetera. \nOpen Stage\nThis is just for fun\, but we’ll cap the total length of the show to 90 minutes\, to be sure the energy is kept up. Some might want to try out something new that have emerged during exercises\, others might want to show off something they enjoy performing. Still others might just want to relax and be entertained.

That includes lodging (single room) Monday-Saturday\, 6 meals/day\, and material costs for the propmaking class.Payment will be due at the end of April 2025. \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n	\n		\n			 Your Name (required)\n \n			 \n		\n		\n			 Your Email (required)\n \n			 \n		\n	\n	\n		\n			 Your phone (with country code)\n \n			 \n		\n		\n			 City & Country\n \n			 \n		\n	\n\n\n	I need an extra night: July 26-27.\n	 \n\n\n	Optional: Additional info or questions.\n \n	 \n\n\n	Sign me up for the newsletter!\n\n	 \n\n\n                Leave this field empty

Tight fitting clothes are better than loose fitting clothes that can can get caught in things. Closed-toed shoes is preferable. And a hairband to tie your hair back if it is long. \nFor the exercises in misdirection:\nBring a few coins in a size that is comfortable to you to palm.\nAlso\, bring a few identical small objects that are comfortable to finger palm (maybe small rubber balls\, balls from Cups & Balls\, small toys\, marbles\, pebbles from the ground… anything).\nAnd one object that can act as a magic wand (a wand\, a drumstick\, a large pencil\, a stirring stick for drinks… something) \nFor the exercises in structure and routine construction:\nYou need to bring 3-5 simple and short tricks that you can perform. It does not need to be good or advanced (it can even be something from a magic set for kids). But they should be different\, not too similar. The purpose is to learn how to build the structure of a routine or an act\, so the nature and quality of the actual tricks are not important. The simpler the better. \nFor the final exercise:\n(Optional) It is not necessary or essential\, but you can bring 1-2 tricks or routines you are already working with. The last exercise is to apply as much as possible of the new knowledge on one of your own routines\, but the advice is to pick either something new that is in development\, or an old piece that you’re godawfully tired of\, rather than something that is in your active repertoire\, because most people are hesitant to change something they know works well as it is. The reason we say this is optional\, is because we’ve noticed that most tend to pick something they’ve come up with during the week. Yet\, it might be good to have something\, for peace of mind\, if nothing else. \nFor the creativity exercises:\nBring a small kit of your favorite solutions.\nIf you like to use magnets and strings to solve magic problems\, bring magnets and strings.\nIf you often solve magic problems by gluing stuff together; bring glue.\nIf you tend to use black art; bring black material.\n…\nAnd if you don’t have any favorite solutions to magic problems\, don’t worry; just bring yourself. \nMusic:\nFor some of the exercises you will likely want to add music\, so load up your devices with a good assortment of music in various moods; upbeat\, sad\, happy\, spooky\, dramatic\, soft\, rhythmic…et cetera. \nOpen Stage\nThis is just for fun\, but we’ll cap the total length of the show to 90 minutes\, to be sure the energy is kept up. Some might want to try out something new that have emerged during exercises\, others might want to show off something they enjoy performing. Still others might just want to relax and be entertained. To be in the Open Stage\, you sign up on a list during Thursday dinner. First come first served. \nFinally\nIn the evenings\, a make-shift pub will be open and the participants in the Conjuring workshops can socialize with each other. Improvised magic performances and sessions are very welcome. \nRegistration form\n \nThe cost for the 6 days is 8460 SEK (That is about $8460 USD or 8460 euro.). That includes lodging (single room) Monday-Saturday\, 6 meals/day\, and material costs for the propmaking class. \nThe cost for a share in a double room is slightly less; 7235 SEK ($7235 USD or 7235 euro.) for room\, meals and material costs. \nPayment for meals and room will be due in May 2024. \nIt is also possible to book extra nights\, if you arrive the day before the workshop\, or want to stay an extra day afterwards.\n\nSign up for our newsletter\, if you want to be informed about future workshops:\n \n\n\n\nLeave this field empty if you're human:

One hour each day is dedicated to Documentation\, at 5 PM.\nIt might also be nice to share one’s notes with the group\, via some internet solution; Google Docs\, Dropbox… \nFor the propmaking classes:\nIt is good if you have clothes that you don’t have to be very careful with\, preferably clothes made of natural fibers (cotton\, linen…). Tight fitting clothes are better than loose fitting clothes that can can get caught in things. Closed-toed shoes is preferable. And a hairband to tie your hair back if it is long. \nFor the exercises in misdirection:\nBring a few coins in a size that is comfortable to you to palm.\nAlso\, bring a few identical small objects that are comfortable to finger palm (maybe small rubber balls\, balls from Cups & Balls\, small toys\, marbles\, pebbles from the ground… anything).\nAnd one object that can act as a magic wand (a wand\, a drumstick\, a large pencil\, a stirring stick for drinks… something) \nFor the exercises in structure and routine construction:\nYou need to bring 3-5 simple and short tricks that you can perform. It does not need to be good or advanced (it can even be something from a magic set for kids). But they should be different\, not too similar. The purpose is to learn how to build the structure of a routine or an act\, so the nature and quality of the actual tricks are not important. The simpler the better. \nFor the final exercise:\n(Optional) It is not necessary or essential\, but you can bring 1-2 tricks or routines you are already working with. The last exercise is to apply as much as possible of the new knowledge on one of your own routines\, but the advice is to pick either something new that is in development\, or an old piece that you’re godawfully tired of\, rather than something that is in your active repertoire\, because most people are hesitant to change something they know works well as it is. The reason we say this is optional\, is because we’ve noticed that most tend to pick something they’ve come up with during the week. Yet\, it might be good to have something\, for peace of mind\, if nothing else. \nFor the creativity exercises:\nBring a small kit of your favorite solutions.\nIf you like to use magnets and strings to solve magic problems\, bring magnets and strings.\nIf you often solve magic problems by gluing stuff together; bring glue.\nIf you tend to use black art; bring black material.\n…\nAnd if you don’t have any favorite solutions to magic problems\, don’t worry; just bring yourself. \nMusic:\nFor some of the exercises you will likely want to add music\, so load up your devices with a good assortment of music in various moods; upbeat\, sad\, happy\, spooky\, dramatic\, soft\, rhythmic…et cetera. \nFinally\nIn the evenings\, a make-shift pub will be open and the participants in the Conjuring workshops can socialize with each other. Improvised magic performances and sessions are very welcome. \nRegistration form\nThe cost for the 6 days is 7750 SEK (That is about $7750 USD or 7750 euro.).

SUMMARY:Dukar\, Streamers & Käppar
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is given in Swedish.\n“Hur gör man egentligen? Hur ska man hålla då? Var ska den sitta och hur?” \nDet här är frågor Leif Olberius ofta får när han ska coacha någon som ska använda dukar eller streamers eller käppar. \nHär är en hands-on workshop där Leif lär ut hur man viker\, rullar\, knyter\, håller och laddar silkesdukar\, streamers och dukfontäner. \nHan lär ut färgförvandlingar\, bort-och framtrollning och massor av tekniska och praktiska saker när man använder olika typer av dukar.\nVi kollar på olika typer av hållare och hjälpmedel och hur man kan använda dem. \nVi tar också en titt på käppar och ljus\, olika sätt att trolla fram och trolla bort. Hur man gör om en käpp tappar spänsten\, och hur man sköter om den här typen av rekvisita. \nAllt som allt en hel dags workshop med start kl. 10.00 och avslut vid 17.00\, avbrott för en timmes lunch mitt på dagen.  \nFörkunskaper\nDu behöver bara en lagom förståelse för trolleriets grunder. \nLärandemål\nVid kursens slut ska du ha en god förtrogenhet med hur man hanterar dukar\, streamers och käppar. \nMat och logi\nDetta ingår inte i kursavgiften.  \nAnmälning\nKursavgift 960 kr.\nDu får inbetalningsuppgifter efter du anmält dig.\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n	\n		\n			 Ditt namn (required)\n \n			 \n		\n		\n			 Din e-post (required)\n \n			 \n		\n	\n	\n		\n			 Ditt telenr.\n \n			 \n		\n	\n	\n		Ytterligare info (ej obligatoriskt)\n \n		 \n	\n	\n		Sign me up for the newsletter!\n		 \n		\n		 \n	\n\n                Leave this field empty\n                \n            \n\n\n\nThere is also the possibility of arranging this workshop elsewhere\, even in other countries\, if there’s enough interest.

You will get hundreds of ideas\, and any idea not written down will be instantly forgotten.\nYou will probably want to document some of the work you do\, so make sure you have plenty of free memory in your devices so you can film and photograph your ideas.\nIt might also be nice to share one’s notes with the group\, via some internet solution; Google Docs\, Dropbox… \nFor the exercises in misdirection:\nBring a few coins in a size that is comfortable to you to palm.\nAlso\, bring a few identical small objects that are comfortable to finger palm (maybe small rubber balls\, balls from Cups & Balls\, small toys\, marbles\, pebbles from the ground… anything).\nAnd one object that can act as a magic wand (a wand\, a drumstick\, a large pencil\, a stirring stick for drinks… something) \nFor the exercises in structure and routine construction:\nYou need to bring 3-5 simple and short tricks that you can perform. It does not need to be good or advanced (it can even be something from a magic set for kids). But they should be different\, not too similar. The purpose is to learn how to build the structure of a routine or an act\, so the nature and quality of the actual tricks are not important. The simpler the better. \nFor the final exercise:\n(Optional) It is not necessary or essential\, but you can bring 1-2 tricks or routines you are already working with. The last exercise is to apply as much as possible of the new knowledge on one of your own routines\, but the advice is to pick either something new that is in development\, or an old piece that you’re godawfully tired of\, rather than something that is in your active repertoire\, because most people are hesitant to change something they know works well as it is. The reason we say this is optional\, is because we’ve noticed that most tend to pick something they’ve come up with during the week. Yet\, it might be good to have something\, for peace of mind\, if nothing else. \nFor the creativity exercises:\nBring a small kit of your favorite solutions.\nIf you like to use magnets and strings to solve magic problems\, bring magnets and strings.\nIf you often solve magic problems by gluing stuff together; bring glue.\nIf you tend to use black art; bring black material.\n…\nAnd if you don’t have any favorite solutions to magic problems\, don’t worry; just bring yourself. \nMusic:\nFor some of the exercises you will likely want to add music\, so load up your devices with a good assortment of music in various moods; upbeat\, sad\, happy\, spooky\, dramatic\, soft\, rhythmic…et cetera. \nFinally\nIn the evenings\, a make-shift pub will be open and the participants in the Conjuring workshops can socialize with each other. Improvised magic performances and sessions are very welcome. \nRegistration form\n\n\nSingle room + meals. Price:5500 SEK. That is about $5500 USD or 5500 euro.\nExtra night (Sunday-Monday) with breakfast. Price:695 SEK. That is about $695 USD or 695 euro.\n\n\nSince there are limited places\, this form is not binding until it is confirmed that you have a place. \nMax amount of participants: 16.\nThe course is full

SUMMARY:Magisk Scenkonst 2022
DESCRIPTION:A Workshop in Magie Nouvelle\nTogether the participants will be exploring the Magie Nouvelle movement in a five day workshop at Fridhems folkhögskola in Svalöv\, Sweden. It will be a unique event and valuable for you if you are a performing magician or a cirkus/performance artist using pieces of magic or principles of magic in your act. Some basic magic knowledge will of course be helpful\, but most important will be your passion and willingness to learn. \nThe teaching itself is free of charge for the course participant (it is financed through government grants). What you pay for is board and lodging. All meals have vegetarian alternatives. \nTopics covered in the workshop\nFace\, Clown\, Mind – Camouflage\, Black-Art\, Ligthing\, Mirrors\nBody\, Mime\, Mask – Illusion techniques\, Boxes\, Illusion devices\nPuppetry\, Object Manipulation\, Dolls – Threads\, Levitations\, Animations.\nBuilding a show\, rehearsal\, performance\nReflection\, Learning\, Furher learning goals\, evaluations \nRecurring themes will be: How can your performance benefit with knowledge from the other art fields present in the room? How can we use magic to further boost the audience experience? How do we integrate principles we use in your own performance.
 How can you use the topics covered when you innovate new effects
? \nThe workshop will be a massive Laboratory in cutting-edge Magic and Performing Arts\, where the participants input together with the instructors input will create a powerful learning opportunity. We will create new instant effects and stage material that we will use to stage a public show for the final evening of the course.\nWe will talk a lot\, perform a lot\, try out new things and new strategies\, hopefully make many mistakes\, and absolutely have great fun! \nInstructors\n\nYou will meet prize-winning and internationally acclaimed Swedish magician Axel Adlercreutz\, and well experienced learning coach Peter Rosengren from Malmö Magic Mafia\, who both will guide you through an intense week-long learning session grounded in Axel Adlercreutz and Peter Rosengrens own stage and performance practices. \nLanguage\nIf the workshop get international participants\, the lessons will be given in English. Otherwise in Swedish. \nAdditionally\nThe participants will have the opportunity to get personal feedback on effects they are working on during evenings.  \nGuidelines in general\nBe sure to wear comfortable clothes since some of the training is quite physical.\nSummer can be hot\, so a water bottle might be handy.\nBring a pen and a notepad – you will learn things that you want to write down.\nIf you want to film or photograph the work you will be doing yourself\, bring a device for that with enough memory. \nPractical information\nThe school have posted some practical info in Swedish. The same page via Google Translate. \nThere’s four price alternatives\, based on whether you want to share room with a friend\, have a single room\, live on the actual school grounds\, or live on 3-4 minutes walking distance from the school.\nThe price range is from 5200 SEK (about $5200 USD or 5200 euro) to 6200 SEK (about $6200 USD or 6200 euro)

Tom är väl förtrogen med magisk teori och det praktiska hantverket bakom magiska skådenummer\, och hans lärometod är rolig och inspirerande.\nGästföreläsare\nOttar Kraemer kommer instruera oss i användandet av pyrotekniska sceneffekter. Som pyrotekniker har Ottar tidigare hållt kurser i pyroteknisk säkerhet för andra pyrotekniker\, räddnings­myndigheter och polis. \nSchema\nPostas senare. Vi startar kring kl.12 Måndagen den 10 Augusti\, och slutar kring kl 14 på Torsdagen den 13 Augusti. \nLokal\nWorkshopen hålls på Punkshangaren\, i Subtopia kulturområde\, i Alby söder om Stockholm. \nMåltider och boende\nMåltider och boende ingår inte.\nDu kan googla efter hotell nära Alby\, Norsborg\, eller kolla med AirBNB.

It does not need to be good or advanced (it can even be something from a magic set for kids). But they should be different\, not too similar. The purpose is to learn how to build the structure of a routine or an act\, so the nature and quality of the actual tricks are not important. The simpler the better. \nFor the final exercise:\n(Optional) It is not necessary or essential\, but you can bring 1-2 tricks or routines you are already working with. The last exercise is to apply as much as possible of the new knowledge on one of your own routines\, but the advice is to pick either something new that is in development\, or an old piece that you’re godawfully tired of\, rather than something that is in your active repertoire\, because most people are hesitant to change something they know works well as it is. The reason we say this is optional\, is because we’ve noticed that most tend to pick something they’ve come up with during the week. Yet\, it might be good to have something\, for peace of mind\, if nothing else. \nFor the creativity exercises:\nBring a small kit of your favorite solutions.\nIf you like to use magnets and strings to solve magic problems\, bring magnets and strings.\nIf you often solve magic problems by gluing stuff together; bring glue.\nIf you tend to use black art; bring black material.\n…\nAnd if you don’t have any favorite solutions to magic problems\, don’t worry; just bring yourself. \nMusic:\nFor some of the exercises you will likely want to add music\, so load up your devices with a good assortment of music in various moods; upbeat\, sad\, happy\, spooky\, dramatic\, soft\, rhythmic…et cetera. \nFinally\nIn the evenings\, a make-shift pub will be open and the participants in the Conjuring workshops can socialize with each other. Improvised magic performances and sessions are very welcome. \nRegistration form\n\n\nSharing a room + meals. Price:4500 SEK. That is about $4500 USD or 4500 euro.\nSingle room + meals.

SUMMARY:Further Conjuring 2020
DESCRIPTION:Jump to: Registration form \nThis is a 6 day hands-on continuation course in conjuring. There will be loads of exercises in misdirection\, dramatic and deceptive structure\, as well as in prop making. We will examine magic theories\, apply them and discuss them in the context of performances. We will work from early morning to late night and you’ll find it both challenging and rewarding. \nThe workshop itself is free of charge\, as education is free in Sweden. But there are costs for room + meals. \nRequired prerequisite knowledge\nIn order to attend\, you must have either taken the Conjuring workshop (2018 or 2019)\, or the Magic 1 or 2 course at DOCH\, Stockholm University of Arts. \nVenue\nThe venue is “Sigtuna Folkhögskola” (Sigtuna folk highschool)\, located in the beautiful small village Sigtuna\, not far from Arlanda Airport\, in Stockholm\, Sweden. \nInstructors\n\nThe workshop is led by Tom Stone\, Carisa Hendrix\, Tim Star and Leif Olberius. \nTom Stone is the author of several technical books on conjuring arts\, as well as a performer\, consultant\, speaker\, creator and teacher of the subject. He was awarded the 2015 Creative Fellowship by the Academy of Magical Arts. \nCarisa Hendrix recently won the Allan Slaight “Canadian Rising Star” award\, and was nominated the AMA Magic Castle Stage Magician of the Year – but well before that\, Carisa became known as a multi-disciplined variety artist\, doing all from comedy to fire eating. She has studied acting\, dance\, prop manipulation\, burlesque\, modelling\, and magic. After being accepted to ACAD (the Alberta College of Art and Design) in 2007\, she also studied performance art\, design\, and video. \nTim Star is a legendary propmaker for Harries Magic\, Rings-N-Things\, Creations by Star\, and have build custom props for magicians around the world. That\, combined with being a full-time professional performer for many years\, makes Tim an unique instructor within a broad range of topics. \nLeif Olberius started out as a wonder kid\, performed on national TV as an 11 yrs old. Eventually\, we lost him to theater\, first theater school\, then he started his own theatre company. But the magic bug didn’t go away\, and eventually\, he returned back to us – with tools and knowledge few others in magic have. \n…there will also be a few extra guest instructors. \nLearning objective:\nOn completion of the workshop\, the student should:  \n\nGet a deeper understanding of misdirection\, dramatic techniques and non-linear methods.\nUnderstand the principles behind Black Art and Amodal Completion\nBe able to cogently discuss\, research and experiment with colleagues in both magic and related artistic fields.\nBe able to use small tools to build props.\n\nSchedule\nStill under development \n\nMonday \n9.00 Check-in.\n10:30 Diningroom: Fika (coffee & snacks) + introduction of the courses.\n11:00 Exercise: (To be announced)\n11:30 Exercise: (To be announced)\n12:00 Lunch\n13:00 Exercise: (To be announced)\n14:00 Exercise: (To be announced)\n16:00 Fika (coffee & snacks).\n16:30 Exercise: (To be announced)\n18:00 Dinner\n19:00 Extra event. \n…In the evening\, there’s a bar.

You will get hundreds of ideas\, and any idea not written down will be instantly forgotten.\nYou will probably want to document some of the work you do\, so make sure you have plenty of free memory in your devices so you can film and photograph your ideas.\nIt might also be nice to share one’s notes with the group\, via some internet solution; Google Docs\, Dropbox… \nFor the propmaking classes:\nIt is good if you have clothes that you don’t have to be very careful with\, preferably clothes made of natural fibers (cotton\, linen…). Tight fitting clothes are better than loose fitting clothes that can can get caught in things. Closed-toed shoes is preferable. And a hairband to tie your hair back if it is long. \nFor the exercises in misdirection:\nBring a few coins in a size that is comfortable to you to palm.\nAlso\, bring a few identical small objects that are comfortable to finger palm (maybe small rubber balls\, balls from Cups & Balls\, small toys\, marbles\, pebbles from the ground… anything).\nAnd one object that can act as a magic wand (a wand\, a drumstick\, a large pencil\, a stirring stick for drinks… something) \nFor the exercises in structure and routine construction:\nYou need to bring 3-5 simple and short tricks that you can perform. It does not need to be good or advanced (it can even be something from a magic set for kids). But they should be different\, not too similar. The purpose is to learn how to build the structure of a routine or an act\, so the nature and quality of the actual tricks are not important. The simpler the better. \nFor the final exercise:\n(Optional) It is not necessary or essential\, but you can bring 1-2 tricks or routines you are already working with. The last exercise is to apply as much as possible of the new knowledge on one of your own routines\, but the advice is to pick either something new that is in development\, or an old piece that you’re godawfully tired of\, rather than something that is in your active repertoire\, because most people are hesitant to change something they know works well as it is. The reason we say this is optional\, is because we’ve noticed that most tend to pick something they’ve come up with during the week. Yet\, it might be good to have something\, for peace of mind\, if nothing else. \nFor the creativity exercises:\nBring a small kit of your favorite solutions.\nIf you like to use magnets and strings to solve magic problems\, bring magnets and strings.\nIf you often solve magic problems by gluing stuff together; bring glue.\nIf you tend to use black art; bring black material.\n…\nAnd if you don’t have any favorite solutions to magic problems\, don’t worry; just bring yourself. \nMusic:\nFor some of the exercises you will likely want to add music\, so load up your devices with a good assortment of music in various moods; upbeat\, sad\, happy\, spooky\, dramatic\, soft\, rhythmic…et cetera. \nFinally\nOn the school\, besides the Conjuring workshop\, there are several other workshops at the same time (in writing\, photographing\, painting..). In the evenings\, a make-shift pub will be open and the participants in all the workshops can socialize with each other. Improvised magic performances and sessions are very welcome.
