The Alaska
Magic Kids
This is an organization that grew out of magic camps and classes.
Kids come together on the THIRD WEDNESDAY of each month at Kaladi Brothers (off Brayton Dr.) in
Anchorage. (6:30-8pm)
The group is composed of magic enthusiasts ages 7 to 17 who like learning and performing
magic. There are no classes or formal teaching of magic at the meetings. But each month the group has a theme
which they perform. (Ropes, cards, comedy magic, etc.)
Each year the group puts on the Alaska Magic
Kids Holiday Magic Extravaganza. This is held annually from December 26 through December 29th
at the Snow Goose Theater in Anchorage with 2 shows daily. All members are invited to perform their own individual
routines and participate in the illusions. Each year a sensational headline act is brought up from outside Alaska to
star in the show. It's a great opportunity for the kids (and their parents. Speaking of whom - are always
welcome to attend and help out.)
In addition to this BIG SHOW there are other opportunities to perform. Such things
as the Pizza Take Over at Round Table Pizza, the Alaska State Fair, and Anchorage's Kite Day have been venues in the past.
The Program Director is, none other than, the MagicGuy, Don Russell. So, contact us for information!
