You already know so many tricks!
But do they help you express who you are as a performer?
And do they help you reach your goals?
The Master Class is at the heart of the Magic & Mystery School educational offerings. Patterned on a pedagogy used at leading conservatories and art schools, the Master Class provide students with intensive, live educational experiences with master teachers of magic.
Over 3 days of teachings, you will get the best advice and ideas to boost your magic and to move it to the next level. You will also have the opportunity to perform in front of Jeff and Larry and receive their precious feedback to improve your act.
You will also spend quality time with Jeff and Larry.
Read the exciting benefits of attending as well as testimonials of past students.
You'll discover why the Master Class is often referred to as “the most important learning experience a magician can get!”
While there are many ways to learn magic —through books and DVDs, in person, or online— nothing substitutes for the real Master Class experience.
In a lecture, a workshop or a so-called masterclass, you are mostly passive receivers from the teacher who just goes through a list of tricks.
An original Master Class revolves around you, your needs, and your goals.
There is no fixed program for a Master Class as this will change based you, the participants.
Do you want to improve your sleigth-of-hand skills?
To polish your act and to make it perfect?
To increase the business-side of your magic?
Jeff and Larry have already helped thousands of students in all these areas.
They can definitely help you solve your challenges and reach success!
During the Master Class, you will learn hands-on in small groups on topics tailored to your needs.
You will also learn by performing in front of Jeff and Larry.
You will also learn by listening to the feedback shared with you and with other performers.

Jeff and Larry always adapt their teachings to each and every individual student.
Far from downgrading their advice and expertise to the lowest skill level in the room, they are able to help everyone in the room, based on students needs, by going beyond the generics and giving specific advice and recommendations to each student.
So don't worry about your magic skill level or about the number of years you have been in magic.
Both Jeff and Larry have something for you, in all areas you need help with: presentation, philosophy, scriptwriting, sleight-of-hand, career development, character development, showmanship, history, audience participation, winning contest, etc. Just name it!
“Every time I visit Jeff's Magic School I learn something.
I just wish this thing had been around when I was first starting out!”
“The quality of our work has increased tremendously. Jeff is a walking encyclopedia of magic.
He is a teacher who knows exactly what lesson to give you when.
He guides you toward your own goal.”
“Thank you, Larry, for doing so much to help raise the intellectual level of our beloved Art of Magic!”
“I have produced several Masterclasses for Magicians with Jeff McBride. I've seen many magicians do lectures and teach. And I could easily categorize them.
But what Jeff does doesn't fit any category. He seems to shapeshift to meet the needs of every individual student. He doesn't try to push his visions but is genuinely interested in the student. It's his mission to take that particular student to his or her next level. This means that he takes every relevant aspect into consideration to quickly design the most effective way to coach: level of skill, background, style, kind of magic, personality. Apart from his skills as a magician and teacher, he may be the most generous person in the business.”
“Jeff McBride created an atmosphere of excitement - and the unexpected. Plus, his lecture and masterclass not only invigorated Chicago's magic community with a great deal of celebrity buzz, it provided practical material for working performers as well as a much-welcomed opportunity to delve into the deeper mysteries of performing professionally.”
“I hosted The Jeff McBride Experience in Italy in 2010, and it has been a totally rewarding and enriching experience, on many different levels.
