Magic School Reviews and Testimonials

"Master Class was great! It was truly a magical experience, worth the money and more! Jeff is a wonderful person and teacher!"

"Expect a miracle! This class far exceeds any verbiage about it! This is the tap-root of magic. Jeff shape-shifts, enters the persona of the performer and alchemizes their act into a stunning diamond that's a winner!"

"Master Classes are real magic. It has been a mind opener for me, and there was no trick behind it. Thanks- or better yet, merci beaucoup."

"Jeff, Master Class, for me, while teaching practical, commercial magic goes far deeper. Your work opens the door to the joyous creation of entire performance pieces perfectly tailor-made to allow me to be the very best magician I was born to be, Thank You!"

"Jeff, I came out here to polish my act's character and blocking. As soon as I finished, you were right there, bestowing upon me the gold to turn my magic into heart and soul, effectively communicating my thoughts to my audience. This experience is the new direction in magical instruction. It was wonderful!! Master Class surpassed ALL of my expectations!"

"Without a doubt the most inspiring event in my magical "carreer". It tapped just the right things to keep believing in what I do is right! I repeat what I said two years ago: My wife does not like magic but damn, I wish she could have experienced this."

"Master Class was much more than I expected. Jeff and Eugene are exceptional instructors. They have a great insight into what makes a 'Magical' performance."

"Jeff and Eugene are masters at teaching real-time magic. You can use their immediate feedback and combined wisdom to turn your raw magic routine into a polished gem of magic. I felt like I spent 3 days with Howard Thurston and Dai Vernon personally helping me improve my magic performance, stagecraft and art. Tobias provided invaluable marketing and promotional information for the professional magician."

"Just an incredible experience. I'll be back!"

"Master Class was one of the best experiences I have ever had! I wouldn't wait two seconds to book another one next Summer -- it was truly unbelievable. I loved it! In those three days, I learned more than I would in years -- if that! It was an amazing experience. Just when I thought it couldn't be better, Teller, Johnny Thompson, and Lance Burton walk in. It was a room full of my idols."

"Jeff McBride's Master Class was the greatest life changing experience I have ever had in the realm of magic. "

"Master Class is without a doubt the best experience you can ever have. I am looking forward to going again!!! Now I can actually say I HAVE SOMETHING THAT'S MY OWN WORK!!!! "

"I left the course feeling very inspired and almost immediately invented an effect that I am very excited about and believe could well become my signature piece of the future."

"After reviewing my notes from the recent Master Class, I find it hard to believe all the excellent information presented in just three days. I don't think there was one segment of the weekend that didn't provide ideas, thoughts and inspiration aimed at making all of us in attendance better magicians. I learned more in those few days about how magic should be performed than I have in the past several years. Going into the class, I knew that my skill level was not where it needs to be. But I felt I needed to participate in the class if I wanted any feedback aimed directly at my needs. I had to give you a starting point. As it turned out, my performance was far below what I had planned on presenting and I'm sure your first reaction was to tell me to find another art form. But instead, you offered solid ideas on improving my magic and gave me encouragement to keep working. The fact that your group would take the time and share knowledge gained though years of hard work shows you genuinely care about helping others to improve. I was reminded of a line Eugene wrote in one of his books, "All done with kindness". After I put in the practice time and incorporate what I learned at Master Class, I can't help but become a better magician."

"I arrived at Master Class hoping to become a better Magician; I left the class wanting to become a better human being as well. "

"Jeff and Eugene's course was extremely enlightening. I was in awe about how much input each of them had on each subject that was brought up. I loved it."

"Jeff McBride, Eugene Burger, Tobias Beckwith and Lance Burton were truly amazing! They each opened up their heart and mind to provide us (the students) with magical wisdom and inspiration. The knowledge I brought home from Las Vegas was a once in a lifetime opportunity...not to mention priceless! I strongly encourage any magic enthusiast, amateur, semiprofessional, or professional magician to attend. How many magicians can say they learned hands-on from some of Las Vegas' greatest magicians. And how many great magicians, like Jeff McBride, would provide an experience such as the Master Class...none at all. Thank you to Jeff, Eugene, Tobias and Lance...I'll see you at the next class!"
