Dear Magical Friends,
Often I ask myself what makes for “meaningful magic?”
As I sit in reflection, contemplating the years that have passed, I am reminded of how rare and precious true connections are. In the world of magic, as in life, moments of genuine fellowship are treasures that shine amidst the ordinary.
Golden Moments
The photo below is of Eugene Burger and me, taking a walk at the very first Mystery School nearly 35 years ago! I remember those walks as being some of the most golden moments of life…and I want to share some moments like this with you. Whether you are a performing magician or just a friend of mine, you are invited to take a walk with me.
Each year, our Magic and Meaning Conference becomes a bright lamp of light in the darkness – drawing together minds, hearts, and souls who share this extraordinary path. For many, it is more than a gathering–it is a homecoming. In our digital age, where so many exchanges are fleeting, this weekend offers us something deeper–the chance to reconnect, reflect, and renew the ties that bind us. We are more than magicians, we are a community of seekers.
It’s not just about learning new effects or refining our craft – though we will. It’s about weaving magic into our lives, blending philosophy, art, and mystery in ways that speak to something larger than ourselves. This is the heart of the conference, and it is why we return, year after year.
This year we have wonderful, new inspiring talks. As you know, we have what has been called “The TED talks of Magic,” and this year we have upped our game and will have an incredible panel of inspiring speakers and events, including:
Like the magic we practice, our online time together is ephemeral – each conversation, each smile through a screen is brief, but profound. And yet, the impact lingers long after we’ve said our goodbyes. I think of it as casting a spell. We come together to create something powerful, something that reaches beyond the moment and continues to enrich our lives.
Your Invitation to Mystery
To those who have joined us before, you know this already. And to you, we extend our warmest invitation to return. Let’s gather again, not just to learn, but to share – to remind ourselves how rare and beautiful it is to connect, even from afar. We may be miles apart, but in those hours, we are as close as we’ve ever been.
ALL EVENTS ARE RECORDED, SO YOU CAN WATCH ANYTIME.

Our weekend together will be, as always, a celebration of magic – both the art and the mystery of it. And more than that, it will be a reunion of friends.
With deep gratitude and anticipation,
Jeff, Abigail, Larry, Daryl, Scott,
and all of us at the Magic & Mystery School
