Master Class

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 McBride Master Class is limited to a small group of students. Although there is no pressure to perform, many students choose to present their act (or a magical piece they are working on) for one-on-one direction from Jeff and Eugene who are both committed to helping you attain new levels of excellence with your magic.

The 3-day Master Class includes personal instruction and two videotaped feedback sessions. This is the only event in the world of magic that focuses on you and the performance of your magic. 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.

The 6-day Master Class: Since most everyone who has attended a McBride Master Class tells us that it should have lasted longer than three days, we have now initiated the new six day McBride Master Class which allows even more personal time to be spent focusing on each student's work. There will also be two events to which you may bring a guest or family member. The six-day class also includes tickets for one of the major Las Vegas magic shows, including Lance Burton and Mac King, and relaxed time with the stars who will be available to answer your questions.

The six day Master Class, in short, allows Jeff and Eugene to go into greater depth with you and your magic -- and also to introduce some new fun and innovative teaching methods and experiments to help you move along your own path to magical excellence.

Student's spouses and guests are invited to the Night Before Party and show at Jeff McBride's House of Mystery.

The Special Extended Master Class includes tickets both to the Mac King Comedy Magic Show at Harrahs and also to the Lance Burton Show at the Monte Carlo. We will attend both of these shows as a group. (Spouses and guests may choose to purchase tickets and attend as well.) And both Mac and Lance have agreed to come to the Master Class after we have seen their shows so that you can ask them questions about how their shows were put together and other questions that might interest you. If you have not seen Lance's show recently, he is now including many new pieces and magical surprises.

 

Focus on...

Maybe you've got a specific interest that you'd like to explore. The Focus on... sessions were created to promote mastery in a particular subject. Classes have included topics of: Small & Portable Illusions, Manipulation, Stage Magic, Handling Humans, Bizarre Magick, and Close-up Magic.

2-Day classes available. Spend quality time with a small group, receiving in-depth training on the subject of your choice! These Focus On sessions are usually held mid-week to enable those who work on the weekends to attend. Also, airfares and hotel rates are often less expensive mid-week. Each class focuses on one of the following topics:

  • Close-Up magic
  • Stand-Up and Parlour magic
  • Manipulation
  • Classical Stage Magic
  • Mentalism

We work from noon til 5:30pm. This leaves your evenings free so you can make your own arrangements to see some Las Vegas shows and to enjoy Vegas with you family and friends. Class is limited to twelve students to insure hands-on attention. Beginners are welcome! Class is held at the McBride House of Mystery, Las Vegas, NV. Check the calendar for upcoming classes.

Private Consultations

Learn more about private sessions

There's simply no better way to improve your performance than one-on-one direction from a master teacher. Most of our faculty are available for private consultations, either in person or over the phone. Many students come in a few days early or stay a few days after a class to meet with our directors, managers, costumers, and marketing staff. To schedule a consultation, contact Abigail Spinner McBride, 702-450-0021.
