Balloon Twisting 101. Learning to make basic balloon designs. You or your child will receive personal, 1-on-1 basic balloon twisting lessons from Dr. B.A.Loonatic. Balloon Twisting Lessons are offered in weekly one-hour increments. This prevents students from being overwhelmed with more information than they can absorb. Instead of teaching individual figures, my teaching style is to show students how to use the different twists and techniques to achieve whatever figure they are trying to create. This is much more effective than teaching, "This is how you make a dog, this is how you make a flower", etc. Students will learn at their own pace, and materials for use during the class period will be provided by Dr. B.A.Loonatic. Additional materials for doing "homework" will be made available for an additional charge. Lessons are charged at the rate of $75 per one hour session. Typically, the average student will accumulate a repertoire of approximately 35-40 balloon designs by the time they complete 10 lessons if they spend an additional hour each week to practice what is taught. Multiple student discounts and group rates are available, ask for details.

Dr. B.A.Loonatic can provide in-home Magic Lessons for you or your child!!! Learning Magic builds self-confidence, promotes positive social behavior, and improves manual dexterity.

Lessons are offered on a weekly basis. Instead of offering an "off the shelf" magic kit of assorted, cheap, toy-like quality magic tricks, the cost of the lessons includes professional quality props that I select personally. These props (and instruction on using them) will be given to the student as they progress at their own pace. The early lessons will include less expensive props, while later lessons will include several props with a retail value of $75 or more each. The first lesson is 2 hours long and costs $150. I begin the session with a magic show performed just for the student, so that they can experience Magic from a spectator's point of view. Following that is a very basic introduction to Magic concepts, then I will give personal 1-on-1 instruction for at least 2 magic tricks that the student can go and perform immediately after the class. Additional tricks will be taught as the student progresses at their own pace. Subsequent lessons are offered in weekly installments, each lasting 60 minutes and charged at the rate of $125/lesson. Multiple student discounts and group rates are available, ask for details. You may pay as you go, which comes out to $1,300 for 10 lessons, or you may prepay 10 lessons for $900. At the end of the first 10 lessons, your child will have accumulated in excess of at least $300 worth of professional quality magic props that will last for a lifetime, along with the confidence and skill to perform them in front of any audience.
