Most illusionists learn their craft by watching and studying the work of other illusionists, and by reading about techniques of performing illusions, then practicing on their own to duplicate the effects they've seen or read about.
Checking larger bookselling sites, like Amazon, or alibris, or abebooks for instructional books on performing magic, or even a good local library, can get you pointed in the right direction.
Since most illusionists guard the secrets of their own particular tricks and illusions, a school for magicians is highly unlikely.
Your best bet is to learn the basic techniques, and create your own!
Another good source for magical instruction are magic supply outlets and stores (including those online), which usually carry all kinds of how-to books and videos on many kinds of magic, as well as props and ready-made illusions.
