The Experience

Art of Illusion

There are illusionists who escape from locked tanks of water, and others who make national landmarks vanish into thin air. But the heart of any magic trick is what the pros call prestidigitation: a.k.a sleight of hand. Join internationally renowned magician Ming Da for a captivating one-hour online experience. Ming will amaze you with feats that’ll have you asking, How’d he do that?—and then he’ll take you behind the curtain to answer that very question.

The first half-hour will be an engaging performance in which audience participation is absolutely encouraged (no need to mute your mic for this virtual gathering). In the second half-hour, Ming will walk you step-by-step through tricks that even total newbies will be able to perform with everyday items, like a deck of cards, toothpicks, and coins.

All are welcome, including participants aged 16 and up (accompanied by a grown-up, please). With a skilled and enchanting performer as magical mentor, this experience also makes a fascinating gift for anyone who’s celebrating a birthday, eager to learn a few thrilling ice-breakers, or just intrigued by the age-old art of abracadabra.

Great Class

We learned three tricks and it was a lot of fun. He made the concept of the magic easy to understand. I would have loved to have a copy of the video, because although it was conceptually easy, there was a lot to remember when trying to do it the next day. But if this were a series, I'd take another class!

Such a fun experience!

The humor involved made it a lot of fun. The magic tricks were shown so that I can practice and do them. My grandkids will really enjoy when I pull these tricks. I would recommend this class to anyone that wants to amuse their kids and friends.

Fun Friday Night Date

I bought this for my husband a fun anniversary gift, he loves magic. Ming was an excellent entertainer and teacher! I really wasn't sure about this experience at first, but I definitely would recommend it to anybody who's interested in magic! He was very captivating and he used the hour efficiently and I was very impressed. Excited to try some of the other experiences that Uncommon Goods offers.

FAQs

The magic class is both a show and a hands-on lesson. During the first part of the session, instructor Ming Da performs close-up magic live for participants — complete with sleight of hand and impressive demonstrations, including some tricks shown in slow motion. Then, in the second part, he teaches participants three magic tricks they can actually take away and perform themselves. You finish the class with the ability to do real magic, making it a genuinely complete experience.

This magic class makes an excellent nostalgic gift for someone who loved magic as a kid. Many buyers have purchased it for spouses and partners for birthdays, anniversaries, and Father's Day specifically for that reason — and the recipients consistently describe it as a perfect surprise. The format brings back that sense of wonder, while actually teaching tricks they can show off to family and friends.

The magic class is a shared session held over Zoom, meaning you'll be joined by other participants. The instructor, Ming Da, runs the session on time, manages the hour efficiently, and actively welcomes interaction and questions throughout — so the group format feels lively rather than impersonal. The class runs approximately one hour and covers a live magic performance followed by instruction on three tricks.

No prior experience or special props are needed to take this magic class. Ming Da teaches tricks that are the right balance of skill and accessibility — he explains each one thoroughly, shows them from multiple angles, and walks through every step so beginners can follow along easily. One participant even performed the tricks for their spouse the very same night after the session.

In this magic class, you'll learn three close-up magic tricks that are fun, practical, and impressive enough to perform for friends and family right away. Past participants have highlighted learning card tricks that don't rely on trick decks, as well as a toothpick trick that kept a four-year-old entertained for an entire hour. The tricks strike the right balance — genuinely impressive to spectators, but learnable within the one-hour Zoom session.

Hello! I am interested in purchasing this for an 8 year old that would be accompanied by an adult. I see mention of 6, 7, and 8 year old kids doing it in the reviews, but am worried about purchasing it based on details in the description. See below. Can you please clarify? In the "experience" section: "All are welcome, including kids ages 13 and up (accompanied by a grown-up, please)." "AGES 16+" is listed on this page as well."
