Who teaches your children

Seven leaders, one way of teaching

Every leader is a performer first — and each one brings their own speciality into the room.

Performers first

Every leader works magic in front of real audiences, not just in classrooms.

Richard Kettle, founder of Ketsy’s Young Magicians

Richard Kettle

Founder & magic tutor

Richard started running magic clubs in schools in 2011, and has spent every year since developing the magic, the teaching and — in particular — the sticker booklets into what they are today.

His aim is straightforward: every child who takes part should leave with real magic tricks they can perform for friends and family. The confidence, the communication and the sense of achievement come from performing them.

He performs regularly at weddings, corporate events and private parties — you can see that side of his work at ketsymagic.co.uk. He still teaches clubs himself every week.

Safeguarding

Checked, insured and briefed

Every leader holds an enhanced DBS certificate and works to the same written risk assessment. Certificates and our public liability insurance go to your school office before the first session, without you having to ask.

If your school needs anything else on file — a safeguarding policy, a photography agreement, a specific form — just say and we will send it.
