From the moment you step onto the stage at the Canyon Club inside the Four Queens Casino Hotel, you'll be building your show from day one! This isn't sitting in class learning theory. You will be ONSTAGE, mic in hand, practicing your hypnotic craft.

This one-of-a-kind course is limited to just four students, so you'll get hands-on instruction and multiple stage experiences throughout the course from Kevin Lepine, a Master Hypnotist with over 25 years of experience. For the last 13 years, Kevin has been wowing audiences in Las Vegas with the longest running hypnosis show in town, Hypnosis Unleashed.

Mentalism: Strolling & Stage - Online 
Taking Your Knowledge and Turning It Into Action!

With Paul Draper and Special Guests
June 15, June 22, June 29, 2023

Intro Price $195 until May 23, then it raises to $245
 

We all have enough effects to last a lifetime. Many of the world's top mentalists are having huge international careers performing the same three to ten pieces on stages around the world.

This class gives a special focus on:

• how to build a mentalism show for stage
• how to build a mentalism show for strolling
• how to define a character, how to create a persona
• how to create a mentalism product that you can perform now.

Some classic mentalism effects with new twists will be taught. However, it is assumed that you already have at least a working knowledge of some mentalism or have read at least one book from the field of mentalism before attending the class. (If you haven't, one will be assigned to you.)

Theater techniques will be discussed, and participation is expected. This is a class all about getting your mentalism show out of your head and ready for performance! 

Taught online through Zoom on three Thursdays, June 15, June 22, and June 29 at 6:00 p.m., Pacific time (9:00 p.m. Eastern). 
Each session is two hours.

A Celebration of Séance, Bizarre Magick, and Storytelling

Dedicated to the Spirit Theater and Bizarre Magick of Eugene Burger

Some of the top minds in the world of spirit theater, séance, and Bizarre Magick will gather in person to form a circle and share their stories as we journey together into the world of shadows and candle-lit mysteries…

…and when the candles are extinguished, these spirits will emerge enlightened, armed with messages of hope and courage for these challenging times.

Join us for a weekend of wisdom! Spend quality time in small groups with some of the greatest magic teachers in the world. Explore the deep wisdom of the philosophers of magic.

The original vision of Mystery School was to create a safe place for serious play and a deep study of magic. For the first few years, 30 people met for three days in a secret location. Over the years, that grew and grew to over 100 students attending.

Here is your chance to experience the roots of the tree of wisdom: old-school, small-group style!

Acting for Magicians

A three-day intensive workshop led by Tobias Beckwith, with Jeff McBride as a special guest

Live and in-person in Las Vegas / Limited to 8 students / September 29, October 1, 2023

Lift the level of your performances with 'Acting for Magicians,' a course that delves into the art of bringing magic to life through the power of acting. As the famous magician Robert-Houdin once said, 'A conjuror is but an actor playing the part of a magician.' In this class, you will learn how to do just that, and to do it well.

Led by Tobias Beckwith, a veteran magic instructor, director, and producer with over 30 years of experience teaching acting and communications skills at the university level and then directing, managing, and producing some of the top magic acts in the world, the class will guide you through the art of fully embodying your magic performances to create an unforgettable experience. Explore the nuances of gesture, timing, expression, and character to bring your magic to life and captivate audiences like never before. With 'Acting for Magicians,' you will learn how to become the ultimate showman and create a magical experience that will leave your audiences spellbound.

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 October 12-15, 2023!

The Magic & Meaning Conference Will Be Online Again in 2023! Join Us as We Celebrate SEVENTEEN Years of this Grand Event!

All events will be recorded, so you can watch anytime you wish.

Our past Online Magic and Meaning Conferences have met with huge success, drawing well over one hundred participants from around the world--people who would not otherwise have been able to attend. Further, our online community has grown by leaps and bounds since the beginning of 2020. Since the Magic and Meaning Conference is our School's "homecoming event," and since our presence has become so global, the 2023 Magic and Meaning Conference will be online.

As has always been the case, the Conference will feature 15 of our remarkable P-E-P Talks by attendees. It will also feature Ensemble Shows, break-out room discussions, teaching magic effects, and discussing ideas "beyond tricks" that are essential to the art of magic. To submit a proposal for your PEP Talk for the 2023 Online Magic and Meaning Conference, please carefully read this CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS.

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.
