Las Vegas – Magician Jeff McBride chatted with Digital Journal about his plans for the future, as well as his Magic and Mystery School.“We did a big show last night at the Wonderground night club with all the magicians,” he said. “It was wonderful and a record-breaking night in attendance in the seven years that we have been doing it. Magic has been more popular than ever.”

In 1993, McBride was crowned “Magician of the Year” by the Academy of Magical Arts, and 15 years later, in 2008, he was honored as its “Lecturer of the Year.” “The ‘Magician of the Year’ award was the Oscar of magic,” he said.

When asked about his proudest moments, he said, “It was definitely meeting and marrying my beautiful wife, Abigail. That has to be right up there.”

Regarding his plans for the future, McBride, said, “Right now we are booking a world tour with the Magic and Mystery School to share our magic in Europe, South America, China and maybe even India.”  Read more..

Editor’s Note: As Robin Leach arrives in Rome en route to his traditional summer vacation under the Tuscan sun in Italy — plus, Costa Esmeralda on Sardinia this year — many of our Strip personalities have stepped forward in his absence to pen their words of wisdom. We continue today with Studio at the Palms exec Zoe Thrall and masked magician Jeff McBride, who travels the world from his Las Vegas Magic School amazing fans with his incredible illusions. Here’s Jeff:

Magic is an international language that transcends cultural, political and language barriers. Not since the magic boom of the mid-1990s has there been such a demand for magic in Las Vegas. The Magic Capital of the World now hosts more than a dozen magic shows on and off Strip, and more are starting soon.

Losander is known as “the Master of Levitation.” In the most famous part of his act, a table floats impossibly, darting around as if possessed.

It’s not just his signature illusion, it’s his magical legacy. Losander sells his floating tables to magicians around the world. And they can cost thousands of dollars. At least, that was until a knock-off started appearing on Chinese websites.

At the beginning when these copies popped up like mushrooms, I got very upset,” Losander says. “They even sell cheaper than I can buy the materials. You can sell a floating table for $30,” he adds with a laugh.

Losander says the cheap copies don’t work, but the websites would have you believe you’re buying the original product. In fact, one of them displays pictures of Losander’s own tables; it even embeds Losander’s promotional video.
