The Fall Workshop lineup at The Woodlands Children’s Museum features a wide array of selections, including a new magicians’ workshop presented by museum favorite, Monty the Magician.

“This will be a season of firsts for us at the museum, from our new My Little Wonderseum program, which provides interactive learning in a preschool setting, to our fabulous school of magic, where the extremely talented Monty the Magician will not only pass along some of the mysteries of his trade, but will also share valuable life lessons,” Executive Director Angela Colton said.

Monty’s School of Magic, for students ages 7-12, will be presented by Monty the Magician, who has specialized in children’s entertainment for 28 years. Monty performs regularly at The Woodlands Children’s Museum, much to the delight of young visitors there. Monty’s new workshop is designed to empower young magic enthusiasts to build character, confidence and communication skills. Young apprentices will discover amazing magic tricks, create optical illusions, escape from magical mazes, decode secret messages, use “real” magic words, read people’s minds, and much more. Monty’s School of Magic is available on Tuesdays, Sept. 10-Nov. 19, 9:30-11:00 a.m. or 4:15-5:45 p.m. The workshop is $225 for museum members and $245 for non-members.
