The ''McBride Magic & Mystery School'' is a private school located in Paradise, Nevada. Founded in 1992, the School offers classes, private instruction, and distance learning programs on theatrical magic, mythology, storytelling, and the healing arts.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.magicalwisdom.com/events )〕 Promoting “fellowship across differences,”〔Burger, Eugene. “What is ‘The Mystery School’?” ''Genii'', Feb. 1994, p. 222.〕 the School serves amateur and professional magicians of all ages and from around the world.〔Willmarth, Robbie. “A Layperson Goes to Mystery School,” ''The Linking Ring'', July 1994, p. 65.〕 The School’s “Magic and Medicine” course offers Continuing Medical Education credits to health care practitioners, in conjunction with Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.magicalwisdom.com/choices )〕 The School follows no official philosophy or “party line,”〔Burger, Eugene. “A Few Words From the Dean,” ''The Caduceus'', Spring 1996, p. 2.〕 preferring “to create a space in which individuals can shine in their own right”〔Conley, Craig. “There Are No S’s in ‘Magic & Meaning,’” ''MAGIC'', Dec. 2010, p. 29.〕 as they take “conscious, strategic steps to experience more education.” ==History== In April 1992, professional stage magician Jeff McBride inaugurated his School at the Ananda Ashram in Monroe, New York.〔Hass, Larry. “History of the Magic & Mystery School,” Summer 2011, p. 1.〕 McBride’s stated mission was to offer learning about magic that was not to be found at “a regular magician’s convention.”〔Tudor, John. “Mystery School, 1998,” ''The Linking Ring'', Sept. 1998, p. 86.〕 His School began as an annual experiential retreat modeled on the Mystery School tradition. Mystery schools flourished in Greece and Rome in Late Antiquity.〔Greco-Roman mysteries〕 McBride’s School followed ancient tradition in five ways:〔Burger, Eugene. ''Mystery School'', The Miracle Factory, 2003.〕 # providing a retreat for contemplating higher and deeper questions, # non-exclusivity of membership, # addressing participants’ “inwardness” or personal direction, # initiation into a “genuinely new beginning,” and # commitment to keeping secrets. In 1995, the School moved to the Dai Bosatsu Zendo Retreat Center in the Catskill Mountains of New York. In 1996, 1997, and 1999, it was located at the College of Mount Saint Vincent in Riverdale, New York. 1998 saw a move to La Casa de Maria Retreat Center in Santa Barbara, California. By 2003, the School found a permanent home in Las Vegas, Nevada. While still offering an annual experiential retreat for magicians (The Magic and Meaning Conference), the vast majority of the School's offerings since 2003 are classes, courses, and other magic education experiences for magicians. These experiences attract students from all over the world and have cemented the School's reputation for providing magic education. As John Fisher, producer of magic for the BBC, said: "The McBride Magic & Mystery School is the world's most prestigious magic school." A music conservatory model predominated the Mystery School approach. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「McBride Magic & Mystery School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
