The bumbling Professor Hackensneeze (David Engel) makes a visit from the Realm of Mysteries to teach children 4 to 12 the secrets of their innermost powers. Join this loony professor of Wizardry as he leads children on a zany day-in-the-life of a ‘Wizard In Training’ (W.I.T). During “Wizard Academy!” children will have their brain, eyes and reflexes tested with fun challenges and illusions that stir up the primal forces of their imaginations with instruction on potions, wand etiquette, and levitation. Hallmarks of this riotous family-friendly show are madcap sound effects, slapstick antics, talking Trolls and a visit from his furry Sidekick Mortimer. Presto Hilarioso! Children encouraged to attend in costume. Ages 4+ 

David Engel is a veteran family entertainer and sailor who tours his eccentric clown-theatre acts and inspirational arts in education shows to performing arts center, festival and educational institutions nationwide.
