As a child, did you ever wish you had magical powers? Ever want to learn how to make things appear or disappear? Read someone’s mind? Make objects levitate?
Joe Coover, owner of Funky Monkey Magic in Oklahoma City, is not only teaching young people these kinds of tricks, he’s also teaching them skills for life through the lens of magic.
“Yes, when kids attend a camp, they get to learn more than just amazing magic tricks,” says Coover. “We also teach eight character traits of a true magician, including: being respectful, prepared, enthusiastic, confident, creative, authentic, humble and giving. We have chosen the tricks in our curriculum to specifically highlight those skills that we hope will also roll over to other activities and other parts of their lives.”
Alongside preparing kids for successful futures, they’ll have wizarding skills in their repertoire, too.
“All our magic tricks are high quality,” confirms Coover. “We have them custom made and they cannot be found on store shelves. We have additional content on our website that the kids get to unlock with code words inside their top-secret magic file folders.”
Funky Monkey Magic has several program partners, like the Sooner Theatre, the Cities of Moore, Oklahoma City and Edmond, as well as others, which provide multiple opportunities and locations for camps, says Coover. Prices vary for one-, three- and five-day camps. There’s even a special program for children who are involved in Boy and Girl Scouts of America.
“Our camps offer a screen free, socially focused, in-person experience where the kids will be able to interact with others, make new friends and develop those interpersonal skills,” says Coover.
