Hands-On Magic Workshop!

This May 2 at 4pm, the Orcas community gets to dive into an inspiring magic workshop led by second-generation magician, Phina Pipia. “This is a program that’s as fun as it is educational, with an impact that lasts long after the hour is over,” says Pipia. The hour starts with a short magic demo in which folks are wowed with original illusion work. Then, Pipia says the real magic words: “Do you want to learn how to do that yourself?”

Together, the class dives in, learning how to perform not one, but two world-class magic tricks and gaining the skills to make them from scratch. At the end of the hour, everyone gets to take their magic tricks home. The workshop was directly inspired by Pipia’s touring illusion, music, puppetry, and theater show, Ha Ha Da Vinci which has been on the road in Europe, the US, and Canada for more than four years and will be at the Orcas Island Odd Fellows Hall on May 3, “The goal is to help students learn magic, while also discovering how to unlock their own creative potential.”
