Remember the good old days?
Â
What is the most wonderful memory you have from your school days? The school play, a school dance, the talent show? I remember my favorite teacher Mr. Stedman. He was the music teacher.
Â
Mr. Stedman taught music like it was a game! He let us students PLAY music. And, he allowed me to share my passion for magic, as well as my passion for music. That’s why I think, even at a young age, I was combining different artistic disciplines together to create “Fusion illusion.“ That’s what I called it back in those days–a combination of magic, theater, music, and dance.
Â
What made Mr. Stedman’s classes more fun and effective? It was a unique combination of teaching, doing, play, and study, that made a huge impact on my performance skills and knowledge base. Now I can look back and see how his inspiration helped me make the following important discovery.
Â
HOW we learn is as important as WHAT we learn!
New Days & News Ways of Learning Magic
Â
There are many ways to take in information. The world is moving so fast these days, that I thought it was important to create a new way to study and learn magic.
Â
Each of us learns at a different speed…Â
Â
I am a very slow and steady learner. Other people digest information at the speed of light.
Â
How do you satisfy so many different styles?
Â
Most people are either readers or “visual learners.“ Still others like to listen to podcasts, and other audio training materials.
Â
Our master key system of magic training combines all three!
The McBride Master Key System of Magic Training
Our Mystery School team has developed a new teaching system that is a combination of:
I have new classes, and I invite you to join me live online, and get the MCBRIDE MASTER KEY SYSTEM as part of the training experience.
Innovations in Magic Teaching
I think about new ways to teach, and I think I’ve discovered something radically different than in the past. Now that we have everybody on Zoom, there is a new way to learn magic. My life classes, combined interactive real-time classes with extraordinary training videos, PDFs and other support materials. Some of our classes are over two hours long, and you will also get Bonus materials. The bonus training package that we called the Master Key has hours of exclusive training videos.
“This is the best parlor magic & stage magic course ever created!”
– Paul Craven, UK
More than mere trick teaching, THE McBRIDE MASTER KEY SYSTEM contains lessons in showmanship, presentation, psychology, philosophy, and much more. We have created a whole new way to learn magic you can see it here.

From Dr. Larry Hass, the Dean
Â
It is my pleasure to announce that the Mystery School’s annual Homecoming event—the Magic and Meaning Conference—will be happening this year, and it will be ONLINE.
As the pandemic surged in recent weeks, it became clear to the School’s wisdom team that the Conference could not proceed as an in-person event this October. This was true both for health and safety reasons, but also because so many people are reluctant to travel for the foreseeable future.
Â
This is, of course, deeply disappointing: The Magic and Meaning Conference has been our community’s time to gather together, re-connect, and re-charge our love of magic that matters. And yet, throughout the pandemic, the Magic & Mystery School has built upon its long experience with the Zoom platform to design and deliver online programs, courses, and seminars that have achieved very high quality. For example, just last week, Jeff, Lance Burton, and I delivered two full days of the Online Lance Burton Teen Seminar. There were seventy-six teens, great teaching content, special guests, lots of breaks, and outstanding engagement from the teens. From every perspective, the program was a smash success.
Â
And so, we are excited to pivot the 2020 Magic and Meaning Conference into an online format. The Conference will be held Saturday and Sunday, October 24-25, 2020, from 10:00am to 4:15pm PACIFIC, each day.
Â
We’re pleased to announce our 30th anniversary Special Guests: Lance Burton & Jade—both of whom have confirmed they will be with us for the virtual conference!
We are planning to emulate the in-person conference by featuring online versions of its most beloved events. For example, there will be:
Â
— 12 Presentations (P-E-P Talks) from attendees. See the Call for Presentations here: https://www.magicalwisdom.com/about/call-for-presentations.
Â
— Guests of Honor and their Presentations
Â
— Ensemble Shows featuring members of the community
Â
— Small Group discussions (using the breakout room feature of Zoom)
Â
— Special Events, such as celebrating the 30th Anniversary of the Magic & Mystery School, the Festival of Wands (our archetypal magic tool of the year), and a Broken Wand Ceremony.
Â
One important benefit of shifting the 2020 Magic and Meaning Conference to an online event, is that it now becomes accessible to magicians from all over the world.
Â
To help make it possible for people to sign up in these challenging times, we have set the tuition for the conference at $145.00. Also, since this is an online program, people are eligible to apply for a need-based stipend that will cover 50% of the tuition. To see if you qualify, go here:Â https://www.magicalwisdom.com/scholarships.
