Let’s face it…not every kid is going to be a professional magician and travel the world as a Master Illusionist.  However, I do believe that there are at least 7 HUGE reasons why every kid on the planet should learn a few tricks, and get a little into magic, even if it’s only for a season…

1. A Rise in Social Skills :: Magic provided me an opportunity to interact with others and majorly improve my social skills, and even interact with people older than me.

2. Improved Communication Skills :: Magic forced me to become a better communicator through my desire to entertain those around me.  It forces those who perform magic to process their thoughts and find the necessary words to communicate properly about what’s going on.

3. A Higher Level of Confidence :: Magic gave me the boost I needed to come out of my shell a little and finally make some friends, by displaying some talent.  As a kid, I felt like I wasn’t good at anything.  Finally, I could do something others couldn’t, and that massively increased my confidence.

4. Improved Dexterity :: Performing magic required a little bit of practice, which improved my dexterity, which in turn, made me better at other skills as well.

5. Better Hand/Eye Coordination :: My coordination also improved, and I finally learned the answer to the question, “Is the hand quicker than the eye?”  In fact, it took my hand/eye coordination to another whole level.

6. An Understanding of Trust & Respect :: Learning to keep and respect the secrecy of magic gave me a positive example of how to trust and respect something or someone, and can help your kid understand it as well.  It’s a complicated concept to grasp, and something even adults these days struggle with. Teach someone to learn to truly value the secrecy of magic, and you’ll have taught someone the value of real trust and respect.

7. A Healthy & Potential Life-Changing Understanding of Trickery & Deception :: Understanding illusions showed me just how easy it was to be deceived, as well as deceive others.  That concept transformed my life, caused me to take my thoughts captive, question things more intentionally, and even strengthened my faith.  Can imagine how powerful it’d be for your child to truly understand that what they see and hear from their TV’s and websites is NOT always the truth?
