New for this class only

Last year’s event was a blast!  This year, all students will receive passes to THE AGE OF CHIVALRY Rennaisance Faire.  We will be hosted by the Greenwood Revelers,  who have a great castle and performance stage for us to weave our magic into the fabric of this fun event!  Students will meet some of the top street magicians on the circuit, attend special lectures on Street Magic, and even get a chance to perform close-up, or on the platform stage… and get feedback, too!  The evenings will have the option of students either performing street magic on Las Vegas Boulevard, or the many high-tech nightclubs that Las Vegas nightlife has to offer.

Please read over the exciting schedule below, and see yourself participating with many of the nation's top street performers, on the streets of Las Vegas, and at the Las Vegas Renaissance Festival. In these three days and four nights, you will have a wide array of magical experiences awaiting you. Jeff has made special arrangements for all of us to attend the Las Vegas Renaissance Festival and to be part of the festivities. Jeff will also teach you many of his favorite street magic routines. Students will also get to perform in Ultra Modern Las Vegas Street Magic locations. Jeff McBride studied street magic with master of the art, Jeff Sheridan. Mr. Sheridan literally wrote the book on street magic, and taught many of his skills to Jeff McBride. Now you will have an opportunity to have these inner secrets of the street performers available to you.
