Eleven years has passed quickly by and Jerry Foster and myself have known each other through the Internet.  We first met online at another Forum dedicated to Magic.  We exchanged email addresses and phone numbers and kept in contact all those years.  Recently, I took a trip to California to help my Mom celebrate her 90th Birthday.  Jerry also resides in California, so I thought it was the perfect opportunity to finally meet face to face (live and in person).  Jerry was kind enough to drive…

I am known as a close up card magician. I am really into cards more than any type of magic. Lately I have been rereading other books on magic theory and more on presentation points. Most of this books are more on mentalism and this has made me think that I could incorporate more of this mind-reading and mental effects into my routine.

There are many Magicians, like myself, who learned Magic from reading tome after tome. There were none of the modern day gadgets like iPods, DVD Players, Blue Rays etc. to help supplement our learning. When I…

Jeff McBride's Magic Wonderground is currently playing here in Las Vegas, Nevada. The show is scheduled every third Thursday, each month. So, if you are planning to visit Las Vegas...make sure to plan your trip accordingly. McBride's Magic Wonderground is at The Olive (a Hookah Lounge in Henderson, Nevada). The lounge is…

Greetings fellow artist I have a rant to throw at you this evening. When you perform magic do you have a show or do you just throw out a bunch of tricks one after the other.

When I first started doing magic shows in 1977 I would do a whole lot of magic tricks in a hours time. Now I can do an hour show with four or five items that are all related together one after the other. Martin Nash (Canadian Card Expert) once told me he loved to read Shakespeare and that each of his…
