Chi sono: Jeff McBride, named Magician of the Year by The Magic Castle in Los Angeles, is
recognized as a foremost innovator in contemporary magic. New York Times columnist
Glenn Collins writes, "What Mr. McBride gives his audiences is a mesmerizing
performance...a magic show that is at once a celebration of mystery and a struggle to
understand powerful forces."
McBride has headlined at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, where he was
voted critics' choice as Best Magician in Las Vegas in the Review-Journal annual poll.
On television, McBride's spectacular "Burned Alive!" escape highlighted the ABC TV
special "Champions of Magic." He is also featured on the PBS documentary,
"The Art of Magic," and on all three episodes of "The Mysteries of Magic" on The
Learning Channel. His show McBride - Magic! was the featured attraction at the Monte
Carlo Festival of Magic. This followed a featured appearance on "World's Greatest
Magicians" for NBC. Earlier that season McBride guest starred on TV's Star Trek: Deep
Space Nine as Joran, a role created especially for him.
McBride's signature fusion of mask, myth, drama and illusion reflects his lifelong study
of magic's multi-cultural roots.
Prior to going solo,
McBride was the opening act of choice for Tina Turner, Diana Ross, and other top stars.
He has been profiled in Elle Magazine, Town & Country, Harpers and dozens of other
publications worldwide.
In addition to his work as a performer, McBride is a much sought-after lecturer and
workshop leader for such diverse groups as The Smithsonian, The Disney Institute, the
International Brotherhood of Magicians, the Center for Symbolic Studies and others.
McBride is founder of The Magic & Mystery School in Las Vegas where he teaches regularly with Eugene Burger.
