Course Description:  

 Students will learn tricks from several branches of magic such as close-up magic (cards, coins), parlour magic (ropes rings), and mentalism (mind reading). We will cover some basic performance theory as well as the history of famous magicians and various magical effects, and there will be guest speakers/performers visiting the class.  The course will culminate in an optional recital in which students will have the opportunity to perform. 

Beyond her career as a mathematician, Professor Noquez has been performing magic professionally for over a decade.  Described by The New York Times as a “math professor by day, conjurer by night,” she has shared her magic all over the country and her act has been featured on national television. She is very excited to be bringing her expertise to this Jan Term course!
