Hey everybody,
So, today was pretty exciting, I had to go to a local elementary school to get some observation hours to be able to pass my summer education class. So I finally get to the school and watch these kids for about two hours until they get a break and got to do whatever they wanted. Me and my friend were there observing together and I happened to tell her I was a magician. Some kids were playing cards (some game called Trash) and I walked over and started interacting with them. The cards they were playing with were pretty horrible, so I asked one of them if they'd like to teach me how to play and I would play with them. So I took out my deck and started playing this card game, when this friend I was talking about came up and asked me to do a trick. So I did Doc Daley's Last Trick, followed by Twisting The Aces.
After I finished Twisting the Aces, about 10 more kids came up asking for more magic. So I did another effect, and MORE kids came up. I was slowly being backed into a corner by a mob of kids haha. I proceeded to do a whole hours worth of card magic with my one deck that I had brought. I was interacting with the kids and teachers, making sure everyone was having a great time.
After I finally finished, kids just came up telling me how much fun they had, and how awesome the magic was.
There were a few things I learned today.
1. Always look for opportunities to perform, they can come from anywhere.
2. Always make sure everyone is having fun, and doesn't feel left out.
3. Love what you do
