For the last two decades, Mark James has been astounding audiences in over 40 countries around the globe. He’s also earned rave reviews for his appearances at The Session and Magifest, and is a regular performer at the Magic Castle, Chicago Magic Lounge, House of Cards and other prestigious venues.
Mark’s ability to combine expert sleight of hand with comedy, juggling and other vaudevillian variety skills makes him a truly one-of-a-kind magician. He’s also best known for his uncanny ability to put unique spins on classic effects and create deeply personal experiences that feel much larger than simply a collection of tricks.
In this Masterclass, Mark will not only teach you the secrets to his best tricks, but will also dive into the ways you can make your magic more personal and improve your overall performance. He’ll teach you everything from creating your own character, to finding the perfect opener, structuring a show, transitioning from close up to stage, recycling old methods in creative ways, and so much more.
This is everything you’d want in the Masterclass. It’s the perfect blend of amazing tricks and exceptional theory. You’ll even have a chance to submit any questions to Mark. He will then answer during an exclusive Q&A that will be recorded and uploaded during the third week. As a special added bonus, you’ll also get a special recording of one of Mark’s full shows that was taken during his most recent appearance at The Session.
