How long are the classes
The classes run on a bi-weekly schedule. The first week on each topic will be a 2 hour class focuses on the bulk of the teaching material for that topic. The second week will be a progress update week where you can show your progress, ask questions and get feedback on your practice.
How are the classes delivered?
The live classes will be hosted via zoom – you will receive details on how to access each class once you have registered. You will need a free zoom account with the same email as your registration to access the class. If you have any trouble joining a class please contact us.
How much time should I dedicate to practice each day?
The drills we design will vary per topic and you can design your own custom drill that suits your own schedule and focus for each lesson. The ones we put together are intended to be a few minutes long that you can repeat when you have time.
We would advise that you keep a deck of cards with you and whenever you have a few moments to go through your drills where you can. Both Eddie and Jack tend to keep a deck of cards with them at all times so they can practice both actively (something new I’m trying to get down) and passively (repeating older drills to keep moves fresh) whenever they have a spare moment.
Given the amount of content to cover, if you can dedicate 30-40 minutes across the day to practice you’ll see huge improvements over the 12 weeks. If you can only afford 15 minutes a day, that’s fine.
Do I need to attend every class?
To get the most value out of the course we would recommend attending every class live. However, if you are unable to make a week due to other commitments each class will be recorded and made available through the portal. And you will be able to ask any questions you have through the discussion forum.
Will the content be downloadable?
You will always have access to the content of your course. The portal will remain live and accessible to you after the course is completed. Should we ever decide to take the site down for whatever reason, we will notify you beforehand so you can download the content to keep.
Courses will have over 36 hours of video content once class recordings are made available, so we will not allow downloading of the content during the course period (the initial 12 weeks). However after this you will be able to download the videos should you wish.
How is this different from Royal Road, Card College or Expert Card Technique etc.?
Eddie and Jack have spent several months developing the content of the course, focusing on giving you a good foundation in magic and ensuring that you have the best tools available to you. During development we made sure to seek out tips, techniques and moves from various sources to ensure a broad range of content that is both modern and unique.
Mainly, this class is live teaching. It’s not a series of videos you watch at “your own pace” etc. like many online courses. This is a 12 week course with Eddie and Jack teaching you directly through zoom in a small class of 16. This means you can ask questions, get feedback, and get direct value from their experience.
Why are there only 16 places?
To ensure each student is able to get a bespoke teaching experience, ensure that things are correctly paced, and to make sure you get value for money, we decided very early to develop an intimate course. By limiting the class to 16 students we are able to make sure that questions can be answered in class, that you are able to interrupt and get things repeated etc. and that discussion is lively and productive.
Why is it so cheap?
We aren’t running the course to make money. We are running the course to share knowledge with you and help you develop as magicians. We chose a price we felt was reasonable but wouldn’t act as a barrier to anyone who wanted to attend. If you are struggling with the price please get in touch and we can discuss payment options as we really don’t want the price to be a barrier to entry.
