Like many magicians, Jeff McBride found magic fascinating at a very young age. While most kids just enjoy watching magic, Jeff decided right then and there that this was going to be his career. He performed his first trick at the ripe old age of eight and continued to perfect his form. Jeff was eventually discovered and at the age of sixteen, he found himself opening for the Fania Allstars.
Performing in Japan opened Jeff's eyes to many new things. One thing that fascinated Jeff was Kabuki Theater. This fascination led him to incorporate this art form into his magic act, giving it a truly unique quality that few if any of the magic acts at the time could offer. It did not take long before the world started to notice this very unique and very young magician.
After moving to New York, Jeff took on a full-time position at a local magic shop while attending the American Mime School. During this time, Jeff was also working the local club circuit. It was at one of these performances that Billy Barnes, an agent to many stars at the time, noticed him and got his name on the dotted line. This would be the start of a huge career for Jeff.
In no time at all, Jeff found himself opening for such legendary stars as Tina Turner and Diana Ross. Before long, Jeff was being sought after as the main headliner for his own show. Eventually, he was given his own show in Las Vegas at the Hilton. At the age of 25, Jeff had officially made it to the big time. By this time, his shows were incorporating everything he had learned over the years to create a true magical spectacle.
While many famous magicians are stuck in the limelight, Jeff has made sure that he passes on the skills that he has learned over the years to the next generation of magicians. He is just as famous for his lectures and teaching as he is for his on-stage performances. Individuals are just as likely to see Jeff doing a magic workshop at The Disney Institute as they are to see him giving a lecture at McDonald's Hamburger University. His ability to relate to everyone has made him a success regardless of the venue in which he speaks. Jeff has introduced magic in a way that few performers have been able to and has shown many people that a little magic goes a long way in life.
