Indonesia’s “Hogwarts” helps magicians realize their dreams..
A school in the Indonesian capital Jakarta is working its magic to help hundreds find successful careers in the entertainment industry.
This small building on the outskirts of Jakarta might not look as grand as Harry Potter’s Hogwarts, but the Magic Mania School of Magic is helping scores of people turn their dreams of becoming professional magicians into reality.
The school has a strict curriculum. Students have to sign up and pay $250 dollars for 4 levels of beginner classes, to make sure they don’t leave the school before mastering the very basics.
The school’s headmaster Abdul Muhaimin has studied magic in the U.S. He says he saw a business opportunity at home where professional magicians are still a rarity.
He said, “Magic is a part of the world of entertainment that never stops. To be entertained is a basic need, and doing magic can provide an income and a livelihood for magicians.”..
