Each approach has its pros and cons. In this post, we will explore these options to help you decide which method suits you best.

Mr. Bottle has been an excellent instructor for my 5-year-old. He has been patient and engaged with my child throughout the one-hour lesson. My child loves the lesson and always looks forward to it. I am overjoyed that she enjoys the magical experience!

Conclusion

Choosing between a magic set and a magic coach depends on your needs and resources. Magic sets offer a budget-friendly, flexible option. However, they lack personalized guidance. On the other hand, a magic coach provides tailored instruction and feedback but at a higher cost.

Alternatively, you can join a group magic workshop first to assess if you want to continue this path. The great news is that Mr Bottle is running his signature magic workshop in September! Join up before all the slots are gone!
