 The Magical Arts are good for you - as doctors,

Course One
 This is it ! An exciting introductory tour of 15
lessons through the world of magic. Once you've learnt of the "Magicians
Code," you'll be onto your magic wand ( where would a magician be without his
wand ! ) Soon your wand waving will be causing matches to float through the
air, ropes to become mysteriously knotted, items to appear and vanish at will
and all kinds of "Hocus Pocus" begins to happen
You start to feel like a magician, but the expert instructors will give you
lots of tips about how to look and sound like a real magician too !
We can't visit all the mysterious locations of the world, but with the help of
magic technology, you will feel as if you are there watching the great magicians of our
time - Siegfried & Roy, David Copperfield, David Blaine …
