Following on from the tremendous success of his recent Alakazam Academy Zero to Hero Card Magic course, we are thrilled to announce that John Carey will be holding a 2 day course on Coin Magic in December!

Just like his Card Magic course, John will take you from beginner and intermediate level and teach you the fundamentals of Coin Magic in his own inimitable fun style. No previous experience is necessary. Just an appetite and willingness to watch, study and learn as we broadcast live from the Academy Film studio.

We will start off with all the necessary tools you will require that in a short space of time will have you performing astonishing coin magic for people. Then we will discuss myriad routines that apply these techniques. There is a ton of variety here! In addition, John will teach you how to apply misdirection and timing that truly turn tricks into Magic.

With Peter Nardi and Dave Loosely presenting and hosting, it promises to be two fun and enjoyable jam packed days of learning. As with all our courses you can join us live to watch and interact with us. Ask the questions and get the answers. We even have our own dedicated chat room and Facebook page just for registrants. But don't worry about having to remember everything as your course will be saved in your Alakazam Magic streaming account.

We expect demand to be very high for this course. Why not take advantage of our specially discounted early bird offer? We very much look forward to seeing you!
