You’ll be able to interact with our knowledgeable tour guides and even make special requests with what objects or subjects you’d most like to see!
School Virtual Workshops
Virtual workshops are available for students 7-13 years old. Participants will each receive a supply kit and will follow along step by step with our instructor, professional magician John Dudley, as he shows them how to perform magic tricks to fool friends and family. In addition, students will get to examine some neat magic artifacts at the museum and engage in a Q&A session with our museum director. Workshops have a $50.00 Instructor Fee, plus $8.00 per participant.
Keep Magic Alive!
All that we’ve done was made possible with talented and hard working leadership, the active participation of local volunteers, individual donations, and the financial support of foundations, state, and federal agencies. Read how you can help!
Join our instructor, professional magician John Dudley, for three Zoom sessions of magical fun! The first two sessions (lasting an hour and a half) will instruct participants in the art of magic and the final session will give participants the chance to perform in our very own online magic show. All the tricks and materials each participant needs will be included in the registration price. Supply packets can be picked up at the museum in Downtown Marshall or mailed to your home. Upon completion, students will be mailed a certificate and admission tickets to the American Museum of Magic (2 adults and 2 children, $16 value).
The mission of the American Museum of Magic is to inspire and delight the public with the wonder of magic by documenting and celebrating the contributions and lives of magicians.
