Jeff McBride, a three-time award winner at the International Grand Prix of Magic in Monte Carlo, is widely recognized as a foremost innovator and most exciting performer in contemporary magic. Naming him "Vegas' Best" Magician several years ago, the Las Vegas Review Journal wrote: "Light years ahead of the pack... McBride is easily the most exciting and mesmerizing magician I've seen in years."
Jeff comes to us fresh from the success of his groundbreaking "Wonderground" magic experience in Las Vegas.
McBride's signature fusion of mask, myth, drama and illusion reflects his lifelong study of magic's multi-cultural roots. His first full-evening exploration of these themes, Mask, Myth & Magic, won acclaim Off-Broadway and on national tour, as well as at arts festivals in Barcelona (for the 1992 Olympics), London, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.
For several years, McBride headlined at Caesars Magical Empire in Las Vegas, where he was voted critics' choice as Best Magician in Las Vegas. His magic has been featured on every major television network, with the most recent appearance on MyTV Network's "Masters of Illusion." Last summer, he was one of the judges on VH-1's "CelebraCadabra!" and has been highighted on A&E's "Mindfreak" with Criss Angel. Previously his Mask & Card Act was featured on "World's Greatest Magicians" on NBC; he was Burned Alive on ABC's "Champions of Magic," and he was heavily featured as both performer and expert on PBS's "The Art of Magic" and TLC's "Mysteries of Magic." McBride has even "gone where no magician had gone before" as a special guest star on "Star Trek - Deep Space Nine."
