Jeff McBride to be At The Table Next Week

[William Draven]

Hey guys.... check this out. I think you may find this incredibly awesome.

So Murphy's Magic has been doing this At The Table online lecture series and so far it's been pretty darn good. The talent they've had on, and the quality of information shared is just second to none. Somewhere if I can ever find an extra hour or two in my day I intend to actually start cranking out some reviews on the individual episodes. Anyways coming up next week one of magics legends Jeff McBride is set to join the table for another installment. I believe he was also on last week's episode that was filmed live.

I'm a huge fan of Jeff's work. He's a master class performer and educator in the art of magic so when the teacher talks I almost want to tell any student to shut up and listen. From what I've heard next week's At The Table is going to be a bit unique. Jeff is pre-taping it so there's an opertunity to skype into the session and ask your questions and get answers from Jeff himself. I've been told that the episode will air online soetime on the 18th after 4pm PST.

What makes this even cooler is that the location being filmed in is at Jeff's personal home! So I imagine there will be lots of insight into his School of Mystery as well.

So if you wanted to participate you can Skype in your questions no later than 5pm PST on Saturday Feb. 14th. The Skype name is "At_The_Table". If you haven't seen an at the table yet then I would encourage you to do so. I plan on getting my questions in early, and I figured I'd share this with everyone else here too. Why wouldn't you want to ask Jeff you're questions right?

Hope this helps some people, and you find this useful.

Cheers,
Draven

I'm a big fan of McBride. I have absolutely no idea of what to ask though!
