SUMMARY:Further Conjuring 2022
DESCRIPTION:Further Conjuring 2023 will start August 7\, 2023. It will be 5 or 6 days long.Info and application forms will be posted on this site January 2\, 2023 \nJump to: Registration form \nThis is a 5 day hands-on continuation course in conjuring. There will be loads of exercises in misdirection\, dramatic and deceptive structure. 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 + 5 meals/day. \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 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. \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 Object Permanence and Amodal Completion\nGet a better language to make it easier to cogently discuss\, research and experiment with colleagues in both magic and related artistic fields.\n\nSchedule\n\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 Exercise: Conflict & Effect\n12:00 Lunch\n13:00 Exercise: Body awareness\n15:00 Fika (coffee & snacks).\n15:30 Exercise: Body and Magic\n18:00 Dinner\n19:00 Extra event: Introduction to the Butterfly Deck with Ondřej Pšenička\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 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
