"Cards are the Poetry of Magic." --Hofzinser

You love card magic, but you have a problem. Perhaps you have a pile of unread magic books, unopened DVDs, and unwatched downloads and pdfs. What more do you need to make progress? You need a personal coach and director to help motivate you, inspire you, and guide you on the path to magic mastery.

“Jeff McBride’s extraordinary skill and wide-spanning knowledge have made him one of the world’s greatest magic teachers.”
                                        - David Copperfield
