Seattle area Magic Classes / Magic Lessons are available to the public! 

These are Private Magic Lessons (individual tutoring sessions) and are available in the Seattle, Los Angeles, and San Diego areas.

Chris Knoll, Magician Member of The Academy of Magical Arts (the Hollywood Magic Castle) is the instructor for all courses. 
 
Classes are available for anyone with a genuine interest in learning the art of magic!

Please note:  the classes being offered are private tutoring, and NOT a classroom style public walk-in course.  Why?  Because we've tried scheduling public classes repeatedly and every time, there are a flurry of last-minute cancellations or no-shows, forcing us to cancel every public class we've tried to schedule.  So, at least for now, we've given up on trying to schedule public classes but are continuing to offer the private magic lessons to anyone interested. 

  WHAT MAGIC CLASSES / MAGIC LESSONS ARE OFFERED?

 Each class contains between 12 and 15 magic tricks and illusions, and is approximately 2 1/2 to 3 hours long.  There are two different course outlines (beginning magic and intermediate magic), but the outlines can be tailored specifically to the interests of the student, so that the student can learn exactly what they want to learn. 

  A variety of close-up and parlor magic (and a bit of stage magic if the student has an interest) is included in each class.  Versatility in magic skills is important to be considered a credible, talented magician, and Chris ensures that from each and every class, students learn a variety of illusions to impress their friends and relatives!   Magic using playing cards, coins, handkerchiefs, and other common items is taught, as well as a couple of illusions that use magic props available commercially.

  Students will be able to practice the tricks using items loaned to them for the duration of the class.  Many of the magic tricks that will be taught can be done with common household items.  For those tricks that require special items, a few will be available for purchase after class.  Chris will also provide information as to where to purchase any remaining tricks that aren't available from home items or are not for sale after class.

   WHERE ARE THE MAGIC CLASSES HELD?  HOW MUCH ARE THEY?

  Private tutoring sessions are typically held in the student's home, or other private, quiet location that is mutually acceptable to both magician and student. 

  The total cost per class is $50 for a private tutoring session of approximately 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or $75 for 2 students ($37.50 for each student - bring a friend and save 25% on a per-student basis!)   Be ready for an exciting, information-packed, and fun experience!

  Cash, personal check, and any major credit card (Visa, Mastercard, AmEx, Discover) are accepted for payment.

   WHY SHOULD I LEARN MAGIC FROM CHRIS KNOLL?

  Chris Knoll has been a Magician Member of the Academy of Magical Arts (headquartered at the world famous Hollywood Magic Castle) for nearly 15 years, and he was an Associate Member of the Academy for several years prior to that.  Also, Chris has performed at the Magic Castle itself for the public and for TV and movie celebrities!

  Chris has received personal, one-on-one magic training from the world famous and amazingly talented professional Magician, Mark Wilson, and his beautiful wife and assistant Nani Darnell Wilson.  In other words, Chris has literally learned from the best!  This is a HUGE advantage since Chris has learned some pretty amazing magic from Mark and Nani, some illusions of which are not commonly known, and are certainly not taught in most magic classes.  Very few magicians have the opportunity to be personally trained by a world-famous professional, but Chris has!  Chris is also a good friend of, and has performed at the Magic Castle with Mindy Masters, who was Magician's Assistant to the late, great magician Billy McComb.
