Jeff McBride (also known as Magnus) is an American magician. He is known for his sleight-of-hand skills and specializes in the manipulation of playing cards, coins, and other small objects. His stage performances blend elements of kabuki, a Japanese theater form, with traditional conjuring. In addition, he is noted for his contributions to Bizarre magic.

McBride is based in Las Vegas, Nevada, where he has established the Mystery School of Magic, the McBride Magical Arts Center, and the Vegas Vortex[1] to promote the art of magic. Magnus was a star performer for years in Ceasar's Palace's Magical Empire. He performs worldwide and has made numerous television and documentary appearances, including one as a guest star on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. He has produced several instructional books and videos on the subjects of coin and card manipulation, and has presented lectures on magic and theater for such groups as the Smithsonian Institute, the Society of American Magicians, and the International Brotherhood of Magicians.

McBride is active in the Neo-Pagan movement, and has performed and offered classes at the Starwood Festival, the WinterStar Symposium[2], and Free Spirit Gathering. He has also organized his own events with other members of the magical and performance magic communities such as the World Magic Festival and FireDance.
