The StoryMagic MasterMind is much more than a magic class; it’s a monthly journey into the heart and art of storytelling magic, guided by the incomparable Jeff McBride. Recognized as the leading Story Master of our time, McBride draws on a lineage that includes the wisdom of magic legends like Eugene Burger and Max Maven. Each session brings you closer to mastering the transformative power of storytelling to captivate, inspire, and connect.

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 knowledge and experience with Mentalism and Mystery Entertainment. Legendary mentalist and Senior Faculty Member ROSS JOHNSON will once again spend time with the class--either in person or through a special, exclusive online lecture. (As we get closer to the event, other special guest stars may be added to the list.) This will be a RARE opportunity to learn the deepest secrets of mentalism from Ross.

In addition to the Personal Performance Feedback sessions--where 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 from Ross, Jeff, and Larry. 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 9-12, 2025!

2025 GUEST OF HONOR:  STEPHEN MINCH

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 2025 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. This year's Guest of Honor is the legendary, award-winning author, editor, publisher, and magician: STEPHEN MINCH

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.
