Arts camps are in full swing at the Averitt Center for the Arts, and campers are learning about everything from art to music to writing to dance. During the Magic with Everyday Objects camp, held this week, students ages 8 and up learned to perform magic tricks using everyday objects that can be found around the house like pencils, coins and rubber bands. The camp was taught by local magician The Rogue, who has been in the magic business for about 40 years and has performed more than 3,000 shows.
