McBride Mask

14 January 2022

Jeff McBride, born in 1959, is one of the most influential contemporary magicians in the world and a winner of The Magic Circle’s top international award – The Devant.

Known for his spectacular showmanship he is one of the few stage magicians to have worked as a support to pop acts including Tina Turner and Diana Ross. He combines ancient Japanese arts, mime and modern dance moves to create a unique performance. Masks are his trademark, producing them from the air in a way other magicians may produce playing cards. He starts off controlling the masks before they eventually possess him and multiply.

McBride is regarded as one of magic’s leading creative thinkers and was described by David Copperfield as ‘the greatest magic teacher in the world’. His magic school is in Las Vegas but McBride makes regular tours in Europe.
