THE POWER OF SOUND & SILENCE

Jeff McBride has toured the world internationally with his powerful performances utilizing both silent pantomime and musical soundtracks. Now you can learn Jeff's secrets of success and utilize these techniques to enhance your own performance and give variety and texture to your show. Jeff will teach you how he creates unique characters and how you can use these techniques to develop your own new characters.

“Actions speak louder than words”

Musical magical performances can transport people beyond words to a place of incomprehensible beauty and wonder. One of the great advantages to working silently or to a musical soundtrack is that you stand out from the crowd by having international appeal.

The Magic & Meaning Conference Will Be Online Again in 2022! Join Us as We Celebrate FIFTEEN Years of this Grand Event!

Tuition is $145 until August 15. After that, it will be $195.00

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 Magic and Meaning is our School's "homecoming event," and since our presence has become so global, we have decided, once again, to hold the 2022 Magic and Meaning Conference online.

As has always been the case, the Conference will feature 15 of our remarkable P-E-P Talks by attendees. (Go HERE to see how you can submit a proposal to make a presentation to the community.) 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..

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.

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!

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!
