Jeff McBride was awarded the Theory & Philosophy Award from the World Championships of Magic, FISM.  This is one of the highest honors in the world of magic, and, for the first time in history, Jeff will share with you his philosophy on the life cycle of the magician.

If you cannot attend live, you can watch the videos on demand anytime you like, but you must register for the class, as this material will not be made publicly available.

A specially designed program for both magicians who wish to add professional level speaking abilities to their repertoire, and for speakers who want to add magic to their presentations. The ability to surprise with magic, and to link that surprise to your message as a speaker can provide that special touch to give your talks the edge you need in today's competitive marketplace.

Hosted by the Magic & Mystery School Faculty, the Magic and Meaning Conference is an annual gathering of magicians, scholars, public speakers, professionals from many areas, and performers of diverse arts. It is for anyone who loves magic, storytelling, the philosophy of magic, and who wants to think about magic in new ways.

Attendance is strictly limited to 80 people so we can create a friendly, interactive community of learning and performing.

Join Jeff McBride and Dr. Larry Hass and our special guests for these two days of lectures, workshops, and shows on the "dark arts" of Séance and Bizarre Magick. 

THIS CLASS IS CURRENTLY FULL, BUT CHANGES HAPPEN. SO PLEASE EMAIL DEAN HASS TO BE PLACED ON THE WAITING LIST: LARRY@LAWRENCEHASS.COM

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 write books 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.

Our focus for the 2020 Master Class for Mentalism will be on:  THREE MODERN MASTERS: CASSIDY, RICHARDSON, AND WATERS.

This is an exciting opportunity, and it will sell out quickly. We hope that you will join us this November 11-14, 2020!
