Choosing a Magic Class
This page lists some of our magic education options. Find one that best meets your needs.
Master Class
Master Class is at the heart of the Magic & Mystery School’s educational offerings.
Patterned on a pedagogy used at leading conservatories and art schools, our Master Classes provide students with intensive, live educational experiences with master teachers of magic. While there are many ways to learn magic—through books and DVDs, in person, or online—nothing substitutes for a Master Class.
The McBride Master Class is limited to a small group of students. Although there is no pressure to perform and many students choose not to do so, other students present their act (or a magic piece they are developing) for Jeff, Eugene, and the other faculty who will provide detailed, constructive instruction that helps every student in the room attain new levels of understanding and excellence with their magic.
We offer both 3-day and 7-day Master Classes. In the 7-Day Master Class, we are able to go into greater depth on the range of topics that are important to magicians in the world today. In addition, the 7-Day Master Class includes a free ticket to attend at least one major Las Vegas magic show together as a class, and to spend quality time with Las Vegas magic celebrities.

Online Virtual Magic School
You can also study from home with our Virtual Magic & Mystery School. While the Online School does not have the thrill of live interaction with the Faculty, it's an excellent way to expand your skill set with high-quality learning materials.
Locked Room Learning Experiences
The Magic & Mystery School's Locked Room is our place to host custom online learning experiences in real time. Each one is hosted by one or more of our Faculty and is limited to a small group of participants. The topics vary but our intent is to go deep with the Locked Room attendees.
Conferences and Seminars
Every year we host conferences and seminars on specific topics. Our most popular ones are The Magic and Meaning Conference (in October) and Magic and Medicine (in November). These learning experiences are larger events and include special guest lectures and workshops.
Check the Calendar to register for upcoming conferences.
Private Consultations
Our world-class Faculty offers personal consultation and instruction. These interactions can happen through email, on the telephone, in person, or through skype; the topics can range from private lessons to direction for an entire show.
