from The Magic Word Podcast · host Scott Wells
<figure class=" sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic " > Tobias Beckwith used to manage Jeff McBride and Marco Tempest, just to name a couple “names” in our magic community. He has worked on Broadway with some of the most iconic plays such as “Oh, Calcutta” and “The Fantastiks” among others. He was one of the early staff teachers at the McBride Mystery School as it was formed and of course, was close friends with Eugene Burger, among others. Tobias has authored several books on production and direction and are well worth you inspection. <a data-title="" data-description="" data-lightbox-theme="dark" href="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/514e3e26e4b023ca28fd5cc8/1784575012013-J077JBX827Y62UF84HL0/early+Mystery+School.jpg" role="button" aria-label="" class=" image-slide-anchor js-gallery-lightbox-opener content-fill " > View fullsize <a data-title="" data-description="" data-lightbox-theme="dark" href="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/514e3e26e4b023ca28fd5cc8/1784575012036-A8K91DNJXY8JPPHV38DR/Jeff.jpg" role="button" aria-label="" class=" image-slide-anchor js-gallery-lightbox-opener content-fill " > View fullsize <a data-title="" data-description="" data-lightbox-theme="dark" href="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/514e3e26e4b023ca28fd5cc8/1784575013233-R2MOT3LVC1FK6FNRST89/Marco+Tempest.jpg" role="button" aria-label="" class=" image-slide-anchor js-gallery-lightbox-opener content-fill " > View fullsize <a data-title="" data-description="" data-lightbox-theme="dark" href="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/514e3e26e4b023ca28fd5cc8/1784575013129-MYSXE7ZF425CHPNCLQC3/Siegfried.jpg" role="button" aria-label="" class=" image-slide-anchor js-gallery-lightbox-opener content-fill " > View fullsize This week, Tobias shares some stories about the formation of the Mystery School, plus working behind the scenes of many of the great magic shows over the past few decades.
