Abby is one of the more educated magicians in Philadelphia
Abby has spent a decade developing shows only for kids and their parents. She has taken five semester-long courses to develop material: a full magician's course, two college-level stand-up comedy courses, and two clown courses. She has training in stage magic and parlor magic through the generous contributions of her mentors at International Brotherhood of Magicians Ring 6 and the Magician's Alliance of the Eastern States. Every year she extends her education with regular study at conferences, such as the Kidabra Conference of Kid Show Entertainers and the Twist and Shout Convention for balloon twisters. She has lots of other education too, including a master's degree from the Johns Hopkins University in Social Psychology. Knowledge of this field proves helpful for shaping audience behavior at parties.
