The Magic & Mystery School Experience at Poe's Magic Academy

Saturday, January 28th, 2023

Poe’s Magic is very excited to be working with the McBride Mystery School to present The Magic & Mystery School Experience at Poe’s Magic Academy!

What is The Mystery School Experience? Consider it the East Coast extension of the world-renowned McBride Magic & Mystery School. Hosted by Lawrence Hass, Ph.D., the Dean of the School, successor in that role to his friend and mentor, Eugene Burger.

Larry Hass’s visionary approach to magic has been featured in leading international media, including the New York Times, USA Today, The Chronicle of Higher Education, the Associated Press, National Public Radio, the Discovery Channel, and in his recent TEDx Talk, "What Is the Art of Magic?"

Dr. Hass will be joined by Mystery School founder Jeff McBride via a live Zoom event at Poe’s Magic Theatre for a special keynote talk. Also joining Larry will be Poe’s Magic Academy founder Vince Wilson along with other Mystery School Ambassadors, associates, and alumni.

This experience will be the first of many. Our goal is to help all magicians achieve their goal of sharing wonder. Some magicians attending The Poe’s Magic Experience might be chosen to perform at Poe’s Magic Theatre!
