School Virtual Workshops
Virtual workshops are available for students 7-14 years old.

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.
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).
