In response to many requests and because of extraordinary demand, we are delighted to present this Master Class aimed exclusively at mentalists. Jeff McBride's Master Class is the premier program in contemporary magic where YOU and your performance take center stage in a safe and supportive setting.
At this Special Master Class, all of the performances, talks, and breakout sessions are focused on the performing art of MENTALISM. Regular faculty members Jeff McBride and Dr. Larry Hass will share their thoughts on Mentalism and Mystery Entertainment. And our Special Guest for the Class will once again be ROSS JOHNSON, perhaps the most successful corporate mentalist in the United States. This is a RARE opportunity to learn from Ross, because he does not publish his material and rarely speaks to groups of mentalists. We are thrilled to be able to spend several days with him finding out what has made him so successful.
In addition to the Personal Performance Feedback sessions--when you get expert direction on improving your performances--the Master Class for Mentalism features small-group learning and trick teaching, as well as KEYNOTE LECTURES on the art of mentalism by Ross, Larry, and Jeff. These are high-level, cutting edge lectures on the topics, techniques, and/or leading figures in our field, prepared especially for this course.
This is an exciting opportunity, and it will sell out quickly. We hope that you will join us this November 10-13, 2022!

The Master Class for Mentalism is limited to a small group of participants. Although there is no pressure to perform, many students choose to present their act (or a mentalism piece they are working on) for expert direction from Jeff, Larry, and Ross, who are all committed to helping you attain new levels of excellence with your performance of mentalism.
If you are looking for detailed, personal instruction in an intimate and safe setting, consider attending a McBride Master Class, magic's most progressive learning experience.
The Master Class includes personal instruction and a videotaped feedback session. This is the only event in the world of magic that focuses on YOU and the performance of your mentalism. Those who choose not to perform are always amazed at how much they learn from experiencing McBride's Master Class process and especially from listening to the critiques of others.
REVISED: April 27, 2022
The House of Mystery COVID-19 Policy
Health & Safety issues are our top priority as the House of Mystery opens for the 7-Day Master Class, June 20-26, 2022. Working with the current CDC guidelines and our own medical advisor (Dr. Ricardo Rosenkranz), here is the policy we will apply for this class.
1. Every participant, including the faculty and staff, must be “fully vaccinated” on the first day of the class, which means having completed the primary series of one’s selected vaccine at least two weeks prior to the event. We recommend, but do not require, that people are “Up to Date” on their vaccinations, which means having completed the primary series and having received one or more booster when eligible.
Proof of vaccination must be made by presenting either your “COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card” or a photograph of it. No exceptions will be made.
2. Each day of the event, participants will undergo symptom screening before being admitted to the House of Mystery. Should a participant have symptoms consistent with COVID-19, such as fever, coughing, runny nose, headache, or sore throat (among others), they will be asked to self-administer a rapid antigen test, such as BinaxNow (at the cost of $10.00). They will only be allowed to enter the House of Mystery if they have a clear negative test. Anyone who must discontinue the Master Class because of this will be refunded a percentage of their tuition for the day or days missed.
We recommend that participants travel with their own rapid antigen tests so they can self-administer a test at their hotel at the first sign of symptoms.
3. Assuming participants pass the daily symptom screening, mask use inside the House of Mystery is optional.
Thank you for understanding these important steps as we get together.
