How to Run a Magic Drama Camp This School Holiday

A Perfect Holiday Activity For Kids Entertainers

Surely a magic drama camp would require a children’s entertainer to be highly skilled in magic technique. Not so. September Cardiff shares her insights and tips from her magic and drama camp in the recent summer holiday break.

In this episode we discuss:

– Why run a magic drama camp in the first place?

– What ages work best for a magic drama camp?

– Is there a need to run holiday entertainment for children outside of school hours?

– How hard or how easy is it to get parents to send the children to a magic drama camp?

– What the parents expect?

– What type of schedule works best? How long? Start time? End time?

– Do you have to be experienced in magic to be able to teach magic tricks to kids?

– Including puppets, juggling, theatre, circus – what works best?

– Building social skills like confidence, public speaking, eye contact and learning patience.

– What to do with behaviour problems from kids attending the workshop.

– What sort of venue works best?
