We are thrilled to announce that Jim Steinmeyer will be the August Masterclass instructor. Steinmeyer\u2019s place is the pantheon of magic legends is secure: he has designed illusions for stage and screen, including some of Broadway\u2019s most memorable magic scenes. He has worked with all the greats in magic, from Orson Welles to Doug Henning to David Copperfield. And his close-up and parlor innovations are widely regarded as game-changing and revolutionary. His \u201cImpuzzibilities<\/em>\u201d series collects all his self-working, amazing close-up magic. As a writer, Steinmeyer has penned some of magic\u2019s most lasting modern titles:\u00a0Hiding the Elephant<\/em>,\u00a0Device & Illusion<\/em>, and\u00a0The Last Greatest Magician in the World<\/em>. What will Steinmeyer cover in these classes? We\u2019re not ready to share that just yet, but we\u2019re delighted that he is putting together a new program for our enrolled students, and it\u2019s sure to be fascinating.<\/p>\n \u201cWhich comes first, the music or the lyrics?\u201d Magicians seem to be perpetually amazed, and confused, by the process of invention and design. But there\u2019s no better way to finely tune your own performances than to develop your own process of invention, flexing your creative muscles in magic. This is a Masterclass in looking forward, in creating and refining your own magic and, in the process, learning how to innovate. It\u2019s a process that will serve you for a lifetime in magic.<\/p>\n There\u2019s probably no one more qualified to teach this subject than Jim Steinmeyer. His developments in magic have been called \u201cthe defining illusions of a generation\u201d in magic. One of the most awarded and recognized magicians, he\u2019s also received the Drama Desk Award and is an L.A. Times Best-selling author. He has created effects some of the most iconic moments of modern Broadway, as well as some of the most admired tricks in modern conjuring. And of course, he has created hundreds of effects for magicians like Doug Henning, David Copperfield, Siegfried andRoy and many other magicians.<\/p>\n In looking at the subject as a Masterclass, Jim doesn\u2019t focus on stage illusions, but on the sort of magic that will work best for you. He examines how great magicians in the past invented their magic-he\u2019s made a study of this fascinating subject for years-and explains what we can learn, and how to take important steps in developing your magic. Most of all, he explains his own formula, step-by-step, and his own goals for creativity.<\/p>\n Uniquely, Jim is able to address the totality of the process. The first 90-minute Masterclass will focus on \u201cInnovating and Developing Tricks,\u201d focusing on the tricks themselves. The second session will focus on \u201cDevising and Writing Presentations,\u201d as the ultimate goal should always be integrated routines, complete effects, that serve the performer. In this way, he will have a chance to look at both the \u201cmusic\u201d and the \u201clyrics,\u201d demonstrating how all the pieces can be put together.<\/p>\n The Masterclass will deliberately focus on a wide range of effects, and you\u2019ll invariably be inspired by some unusual interactive and close-up effects which will be useful in your own shows.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We are thrilled to announce that Jim Steinmeyer will be the August Masterclass instructor.
