1. John - 1 star
I was really disappointed with the "Little Magic Workshop". The activities were not engaging at all and the instructor didn't seem enthusiastic about teaching. The whole workshop felt rushed and disorganized. I expected to learn some cool magic tricks but ended up leaving frustrated and bored. I would not recommend this workshop to anyone looking for a fun and educational experience.
2. Sarah - 2 stars
I had high hopes for the "Little Magic Workshop" but unfortunately, it fell flat for me. The instructor seemed knowledgeable, but the content of the workshop was too basic. I was hoping to learn some advanced magic tricks, but instead, we only covered the basics that I already knew. The workshop felt more like a beginner's class rather than an intermediate level workshop. I left feeling underwhelmed and that I didn't get my money's worth.
3. Mark - 2 stars
The "Little Magic Workshop" was a letdown for me. The instructor seemed unprepared and there were technical difficulties throughout the session. We spent more time troubleshooting technical issues than actually learning magic tricks. The workshop lacked structure and it felt like the instructor was just winging it. I was expecting a well-organized and engaging workshop, but it fell short of my expectations. I wouldn't recommend it to others.
4. Emily - 3 stars
I was somewhat disappointed with the "Little Magic Workshop". While the instructor had good intentions, the workshop lacked interactive elements and hands-on practice. It felt more like a lecture than an actual workshop. There was limited opportunity to ask questions or receive feedback on our progress. The workshop could benefit from incorporating more interactive activities and providing participants with individual practice time. Overall, it was an okay experience, but I expected more from a magic workshop.
5. Michael - 2 stars
The "Little Magic Workshop" was not what I expected. The instructor seemed disorganized and frequently went off on tangents, which made it difficult to follow along. The workshop also lacked structure and clear learning objectives. It felt like a random assortment of magic tricks without any clear progression or theme. I left feeling confused and unsatisfied. I wouldn't recommend this workshop to anyone who wants to learn magic effectively.
