*For Immediate Release;
Kings of Kards – Dr. James William Elliott and Jeff McBride meet across a century – in Rumford on May 26
March 15, 2012, Rumford, ME – On May 26 of this year, Las Vegas magician Jeff McBride will visit Rumford to perform and lecture for local magicians at The Mystic Theater. During his stay, McBride, widely known as today’s “King of Kards,” will visit the grave of a somewhat lesser known figure in the history of magic, Rumford’s own Dr. James William Elliott (1874-1914). Elliott was the first magician to hold the title of “King of Cards,” later claimed by other magicians…most famously by Harry Houdini, and today held by McBride.
Jeff McBride is a world-renowned magician, teacher, lecturer, and performer. His show has been featured in Las Vegas, off-Broadway in New York, and at theaters and arts festivals around the world. His DVD trilogy “The Art of Card Manipulation” explaining 100s of techniques is among the most used teaching tools by both amateur and professional magicians worldwide. McBride also holds three Guinness World Records in magic, including one for “fastest card spinning,” which he will perform as a part of the show in Rumford. His “Mystery School” in Las Vegas hosts many different events including weeklong Master Classes, the Magic & Meaning Conference, and a weekly TV show, available online at www.mcbridemagic.tv.
On May 26, McBride, accompanied by local magicians, will visit the gravesite of Dr. Elliott, in Abbott’s Mills Cemetery to pay homage to the great card manipulator. Elliott was so skilled in card manipulation that the Boston area magicians gave him a gold fob and the title “King of Kards.” Elliott was a true gentleman and very well liked by his peers. Harry Houdini befriended Elliott and edited his book, “Elliott’s Last Legacy” which stated all of the material in this book is unique and original to Elliott.
On the evening of the 26th, McBride will present his acclaimed Magic Behind the Mask, a high energy 90 minute show featuring his unusual blend of masks, mime, Kabuki theater, and magic from around the world at the Mystic Theater at 49 Franklin in Rumford. The show is suitable for all ages. Doors open at 6:00 p.m. and show starts at 7:00 p.m. Admission is $30 per person, under 12 only $10. Snacks and drinks will be available. Tickets are available at All That Jazz and Bartash’s Cards and Gifts on Congress St. in Rumford, also on-line at www.49franklin.com.
After the show on the 26th, McBride will deliver a special 90 lecture for magicians at 9:00 p.m., and a 4 hour Master Class at 1:00 p.m. on May 27.) Interested magicians should contact Scot Grassette at 369-0129.
