A13789: Building and Performing the Tiny House Illusion in Spark 2020 (Mar. 14 - 15, 2020)
In this class students will learn how to construct and perform a very effective illusion that was designed by the famous magical inventor, Gen. Grant (an actual descendant of the Union general and president). For this illusion the magician will present a stack of cardboard sheets to the audience. The sheets are assembled into a tiny house, and the magician lifts the roof revealing the magical appearance of an assistant!


X13794: Dungeons & Dragons in Spark 2020 (Mar. 14 - 15, 2020)
You find yourself shaken awake by the rocking of a wagon, the wagon jolts to a halt and you shake off your weariness. The unfamiliar clash of steel, you throw yourself outside and find your party is surrounded, but now the decision is up to you, do you fight and risk life or surrender to the centaurs towering above you. Dungeons and Dragons is a whole new world to be explored, and one where you can be whoever you like, perhaps you are a high-elf wizard who's spells do both terrible things to your foes and helpful things to your friends, or maybe you are a dwarf paladin who's heavy armor and healing spells are a welcome addition to any group, or even a half-orc rouge, whose sly thievery and stealth in combat make you an adversary to all. During this class you will take control of an adventurer and you and your peers will have to complete a quest while not only slaying monsters but also making decisions that can greatly affect the outcome of your adventure.


L13935: Save the Turtles ??? in Spark 2020 (Mar. 14 - 15, 2020)
Humans are unarguably having a negative effect on our planet. The air pollution and temperature change have become the primary concern on the media, but our oceans are also at risk. Coral reefs, in mass bleaching events, are dying, with their ecosystems following suit not soon after. We will discuss these effects, and how they relate back to us as a society, ecologically, economically and even how our drinking water could be at risk. At the end I will dress several direct and indirect ways you can get involved and help.


X12938: Crash course in SCUBA in Spark 2019 (Mar. 16 - 17, 2019)
Have you ever gone swimming at the beach and seen a fish dart by, or maybe even a small shark sneaking around on the ocean floor? What if I told you that there was a whole new world down there, one not 5 or 10 feet deep like a swimming pool, but 60, or 120 feet below? That you could go down and see massive whale sharks, imposing eels or illusive sea turtles, see what is truly our last great frontier. More than 80 percent of our oceans remain unexplored, and the ocean itself covers 70 percent of our planet. Previously only Navy personnel had the opportunity to explore the deep, donning ridiculously expensive and cumbersome suits or relying on submarines. Times have changed, anyone over 10 can get their certification, and the equipment is both easily accessible and usable. In this class we will be diving in (sorry) to the world of SCUBA diving, going over everything from the equipment used and how to use it to some of the awe-inspiring things you can see and do at 100 feet below. NOTE: this is NOT a PADI certification course, I am a certified diver but unfortunately I can not make you one in an hour, I will of course provide information and resources at the end of the class for those who are interested in getting their certification and becoming divers.
