RUMFORD — 49 Franklin’s School of Magic and Showmanship plans to present a series of magic classes that aims to create the illusion of superhero powers.

Local magician Scot Grassette will present 12 classes in April and May, with two shows presenting what was learned. Students are to be at least 6 years old, with older students encouraged to participate as well; there is no upper age limit, according to a news release from Grassette at 49 Franklin.

Students can learn some of magic’s top secrets, along with how to present them and get maximum audience reactions. Pupils can learn stagecraft, showmanship, history and to work in a team, as well as individually. They can learn all the effects in the show but will be featured presenting their own skills.

Classes will take place from 5-7 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays, April 18 through May 25, at the 49 Franklin St. theater, with a full-dress rehearsal on Friday, May 26.

The show will be held at 7 p.m. Saturday, May 27 and 1 p.m. Sunday, May 28.

To sign up and for more information, contact Grassette at 207-369-0129 or info@49franklin.com.
