Get the Best Possible Start.

Don’t Waste Amazing Amounts Of Time And Money Trying To Do It On Your Own.

When I first set out to learn magic, I thought the best approach was to master the basic techniques, and then use them to create the magic I envisioned in my head. Like many students, I literally wasted thousands of practice hours in pursuit of this approach.

As I discovered over the course of the following years, there are many more components to a magical experience than just “sleights” and “tricks.” In order to create a complete effect, you also need layers of tension, focus, timing, trick structure, presentation and performance.

These layers aren’t just words—they are each a key aspect of magic with very real ramifications for everything we do, right down to the specific sleights we select and how we practice, rehearse and perform them.

In a finished performance by a real magician, these layers seem to disappear entirely, and leave only the illusion of magic. For that reason, it takes years of trial and error to discover these concepts one by one and then digest them on your own.

And here’s the rub: Until you really understand how these aspects work together to create the experience of magic, you simply don’t have all the information you need to choose or practice anything, even sleights themselves, in an effective, truly meaningful way.

In other words, until you understand the entire process of building a house, you don’t have enough information to competently erect the foundation it will stand on.

It would take shelves of books and DVDs to piece together all the information on all the different subjects necessary and then you’d have to consume them, study them and practice without mistakes. Truly, it’s nearly impossible to do it on your own.

Magic lessons can give you the complete and total understanding of the key areas and provide you with the foundation you need to perform great magic. Lessons will give you this material in a much more streamlined fashion and save you oodles of time and frustration.

Worried You Don’t Have Talent?

Shortly after we realize that this magic thing is tougher than it looks, many of us start to imagine that we don’t have what it takes.

Real magicians are not born—they’re made. Believe it or not, it doesn’t take talent to become a real magician. It only takes passion and regular guidance from a qualified teacher.

I’ve spent the last twenty years practicing, studying with world masters, performing professionally and teaching magicians all over the world how to get better results.

I use this extensive history to create a plan for you and you alone, designed around your unique experiences, strengths and personal style. As we work together, I adapt your lessons from week to week to ensure your maximum progress, and get you the skills, confidence and understanding you need to do great card magic.

If you sincerely want to become a skilled card magician, I can ensure you’ll make lasting progress in just a few lessons. Make no mistake—this is the fastest, most effective method to real mastery you will ever find.

Shouldn’t I Study A Book Like Card College Before I Take Lessons?

A great book like Card College can show you a world of ideas. But for a beginner just getting started, too much information actually tends to slow down your learning.

Further, a book like Card College makes the assumption that every student should learn sleight of hand concepts in the same order, and that simply isn’t true.

You’re unique. Some concepts will come to you faster than others. Your personal lesson plan will adapt to your progress, and ensure you navigate the path to effective card magic as quickly as possible.

Your lesson plan won’t just be a collection of moves and tricks stacked in order of increasing difficulty. One of my most important jobs is to sift through dozens of approaches to the fundamental sleights, and teach you the very best methods for your style, experience and personality.

And that’s just where the process starts. I’ve learned over years of teaching just how and when to introduce new concepts for maximum growth and ease of learning. My job is to make sure you leave every lesson with a real sense of accomplishment and discovery.

Finally, Card College can’t correct bad form, refine your technique, or help you learn to apply your new techniques in real performance. You can only get those things from ongoing lessons with an experienced teacher.

If you want to go to Card College, these lessons are it. You should enroll as soon as you decide you’re ready to start your journey to become a master card magician.

“Aaron has been a great instructor at Sorcerers Safari. We have 150 campers, aged 10-25 years old, and Aaron is definitely a favorite.

He loves teaching, and it comes through in all he does. We consistently get great feedback from the campers regarding Aaron’s approach to magic, and magic instruction. He is patient with the newer magicians, and highly skilled and knowledgeable with the older campers. We truly love having Aaron as part of our family!”

I Just Want To Use Simple Sleights To Perform Great Tricks… Can Lessons Help Me Do That?

Just because some students want to incorporate demanding techniques in their work, doesn’t mean you have to—or even that you should. A real expert knows that learning the most advanced tools isn’t nearly as important as learning to use the basic tools like a real pro.

Whether you’re just learning your first card control, or you’ve been in magic a few years and you desperately want to master the Gravity Half Pass, your lessons will go way beyond just how to do the move. We’ll make sure you know everything you need to use that tool confidently in the real world.

Rather than introducing you to as many new sleights as possible, your own path may be to learn a few key techniques deeply, taking time to acquire the understanding and confidence you need to use them in every real world situation.

You’ll learn to use even the simplest sleights to create miracles any time, any where. Assuming you want to learn a simple control: You’ll learn to use it not only standing, but also seated at a table. You’ll learn how to use the sleight not just when the audience stands in front of you, but when you’re surrounded by spectators on all sides. Your lessons will allow you to develop each of these crucial skills as you’re ready, in the proper order to maximize your learning.

This time-honored method of private teaching makes learning sleight of hand the fun, exciting process of growth and discovery it was always meant to be!

“I have been taking lessons from Aaron Fisher for about three months. I think his lessons are fantastic. I have previously done cards tricks and other magic but not for a long time and never with much skill or ability. Aaron carefully guided me back to the basics and learn some very basic card handling. I have also under his tutelage learned how to really enjoy practicing and working continually on the basic skills he is trying to get me to master. Aaron is a perfect teacher for me because we interact on Skype very easily and his outgoing personality makes the lessons be smooth but end up with me learning a fair amount on each lesson. He also has a great sense of humor that makes the lessons always fun.

I would recommend Aaron Fisher as a magic teacher for any level of magical ability as in my opinion he will improve and move all students, at any level, to the next level of magical skills.”

How Do You Teach Beginners?

I’ve taught beginning students from ages 10 to 75, as well as experienced magicians of every age. And this may surprise you: No matter how old or experienced you are, or how “advanced” the material is, the process for effective learning remains very much the same for us all.

Your mastery of any skill will always build through four distinct phases:

Acquire a Specific Skill step by step. As you practice, you’ll receive essential course correction, as well as new details you’ll need to perfect the sleight.

And that’s just the beginning. We’ll ensure your new knowledge is ready for performance as you:

Apply Misdirection and “hard-bake” organic cover into the design of every sleight you execute, so you deceive so completely, it must be real magic!

Learn Powerful Effects that require you to practice only one new skill at a time. This carefully measured approach ensures that you learn new concepts deeply—and as quickly as possible.

Perform Miracles! You’ll learn, trick by trick, to use presentation not just to entertain, but to create miracles in the minds of your audience.

In the end, all effective close-up magic relies on the same principles and structure. When you take the time to really understand and apply that structure, you’ll find it easy to apply that same process to any tools and effects you choose. The purpose of these lessons is to arm you with the skills you need to do just that!
