Private Lessons • New York City & Online
LEARN MAGIC YOU'LL ACTUALLY PERFORM
Private magic & mentalism coaching with Emran Riaz — available in person in the New York City area or live online.
Complete beginners welcome.
OFFICE PARTY. REAL PEOPLE. REAL REACTIONS.
This is the kind of real-world magic you'll learn to perform.
The Approach
MORE THAN LEARNING THE SECRET
Knowing the method is only a small part of performing great magic. The rest is everything that happens between you and the people watching.
Lessons cover practical magic, sleight of hand, and mentalism alongside presentation, timing, audience management, and the confidence to hold a room — the difference between knowing a trick and delivering an experience.
The point isn't to collect secrets. It's to walk away able to perform what you've learned for real people.
