The first year of Ben Earle’s subscription-based magic program, “The Family,” has just come to a close. The material primarily focuses on card magic, and while most of the routines are very simple, I consider this “high-level” magic. You get about two videos a week every month, which forces you to take it slow and absorb the information before the next video drops.


Every month subscribers receive a masterclass focused on one move/concept, two performance videos (with multiple live performance videos), two explanation videos, two director’s commentary videos, a podcast video, a documentary/”Are You Watching Closely” video, and occasionally a bonus video from Ben’s alter ego, Ian. Each video is beautifully shot and edited, and it oozes class and production value. It’s certainly one of the more expensive magic memberships out there, but when you see the quality of production, you’ll know why.

Best online magic instructional. Period. Family member from day one.

I agree with the previous comments on The Family. Absolutely the best instruction I have come across in my many years as a serious hobbiest. The effects are all simple & direct, but incredibly powerful. All require some sleight of hand, but the sleights are taught as part of the membership. I have to admit that at first I was wary of the membership, but accepted a free month offer and was hooked. I didn't think I had anything to learn about some of these sleights after doing them for over 20 years, but Ben's subtleties are enlightening. He focuses on the psychology of the moves & effects, and that is perfect for me at this point in my magic career. The Family is an excellent value for the money.

Where to find the family online?
Thanks in advance
