Mark James is the type of magician that is as fun to watch as he is to learn from. Lucky for you, this incredible Masterclass contains the best of both worlds.
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.

Customer reviews for Mark James Masterclass
Masterclassmember
I was totally blown away when I again experienced his work at MagiFest! So much maturation and growth! Could it be the same guy? The comedic vaudevillian-styled show, which he has continued to tweak for years, is the perfect fit for his presentation style. It’s been wonderful to observe his growth and dedication to the craft which he’s expertly transformed to art.
This MasterClass is yet another example of how driven he is to grow professionally; every time I see him he’s more polished, more at ease, and provides new nuggets of learning derived from real experiences performing as well. But he doesn’t stop with his personal learning experiences, you will quickly deduce Mark is also a voracious student of those giants preceding him sharing the learning he’s gleaned so you don’t have to.
Mark has ‘cut his teeth’ and is eating steak. Don’t miss this opportunity to dine with him…

The theories discussed, such as bundling, obviously apply to any form of performance.
