What you’ll do

Discover the tricks of illusion used by set designers in magic and theatre, from scene painting to model making, props and digital tricks. 

In the earlier session use these creative techniques to build the story of an abandoned house and create your own scenic element for the model.

In the later session, discover the role of set design in staging magic, and think like a set designer to reimagine a famous trick.
