One of my passions is Magic. Those of you who know me are aware that I spend a lot of time, money and energy on the art and it’s something I strive to be better at every day. This weekend I had an opportunity to see one of my favorite professional magicians perform just inches away from me, and also had multiple opportunities to to work with and learn from him.
Jeff McBride has a very unique style. His performance is backed by strong storytelling and poetry. He takes you deep into his own world of magic while wowing you with effects that are both visually astounding as well as emotionally astounding. I had the pleasure of sitting second row for a performance at Fantasma Toys, a Magic and Joke shop in Manhattan, just upstairs from Penn Station! Jeff performed his Vegas-style show in a small theater that held around a hundred people. To see that caliber of a show close up was incredible.
