“Ta da!!” That exquisite surprise of seeing a magician pull a rabbit out of a hat or a skilled performer pulling an unexpected prop from within their skin-tight barely there costume.

The element of surprise is any performers piece de resistance when it comes to entertaining their audiences.

This workshop is designed to show you those little tricks and tips to add that little Je ne sai quoi to your act. Be that a boa made of toilet paper, a pair of maracas in your bra or a baggy full of Nutella secreted in your costume.

Learn how to perfectly secrete your prop and time your reveal for maximum effect and revel in your audiences delight as you take them on a journey with twists and turns designed to ensure your performance stays in their memory long after you sashay away.

Lesson is predominantly theory based with a chance to move with some props also.
