What Happened?

What happened? Our physical location has been closed as of April 30, 2024. Unfortunately, TMC opened during Covid and had a long uphill climb we could not continue. Because serving the Intellectual and Developmentally Disabled (IDD) community is so important to Scott and Janet, the only Art events currently offered is the collaboration with the Indian Land YMCA for a weekly class. But, if you’re looking to add some magic to your private event, we have you covered with our amazing roster of performers in our area for kid shows, family shows and adult shows!

Who are We?

Scott and Janet Robinson have been known over the years for hosting events that leave no minor detail undone.

They have a daughter, Jessica, who’s a flight nurse (married to a vascular access nurse, John) and an 19 year son who’s a real-life superhero and happens to be on the autism spectrum (mind ya business if you see him riding around on his scooter/E-bike, cape blowing in the wind). They have three granddogs, Enzo, Hiro and Yoshi.

Having a son with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) has highlighted the importance of advocacy, acceptance, diversity and inclusion. They both served on the Advisory Board of Best Buddies of North Carolina (BBNC) for five years. BBNC is an organization that consists of volunteers who create social and employment opportunities for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). 

Scott and Janet have also served as Family Mentors for incoming students majoring in Social Work at the University of South Carolina School of Medicine/Pediatrics. Janet has served on the Advisory Council for Educating Students with Disabilities for the South Carolina Department of Education in the past. They both currently lend their experience to families in the area who are seeking resources. Janet was recognized as Advocate of the Year 2025 for the Autism Strong Foundation.

Scott is a 33 year veteran of Microsoft and is currently in the role of CSA Manager/Microsoft Support for Mission Critical (whew). He loves technology, but loves MAGIC even more. Those who frequented Carowinds in the 80’s might have been lucky enough to catch him performing on his very own magic stage there (he looked like the man on the Pringles can). He had groupies galore who made special gifts for him including pillows with his picture on them. After Carowinds, he continued to wow audiences at King’s Island in Cincinnati, Ohio. Even though he joined Microsoft, he continued doing sleight-of-hand magic and is known in the world of magic as an “underground legend.” After publishing over 100 magic tricks, a book containing 47 of his most beautiful effects was published by Vanishing, Inc. in November of 2019 and sold out within weeks. It’s currently on its third printing and is being translated into Japanese. David Copperfield even bought a copy of Pure Imagination for his private library! Sleight Club is Scott’s brain child and is a local magic club that brings together some of the greatest magic minds in the area. Scott and Janet host an international magic convention in Charlotte every year and bring in acts and lecturers from all over the world. 

Before delving into the world of art and magic, Janet was the Director of Training for a national school photography company and spent her days writing and delivering training plans in schools and daycares throughout the country as well as overseeing a dynamic team of photography managers from coast-to-coast. She loved getting smiles out of kids in daycares, elementary, middle school and even convinced a teen or two to smile for their senior portraits. She continues to volunteer with various organizations serving individuals with disabilities and being an advocate for families with autism. She paints for stress-relief, crafts just because and believes everyone can feel the magic of creativity regardless of their ability/level. In order to help others discover and enjoy the benefits of creativity, Janet recently became a Certified Art Therapy Practitioner.
