Upcoming Public Appearances

 

 

 

Lawrence Hass, Ph.D.

Lawrence Hass is unlike any other performer today:  he is a philosophy professor who is a full-time magician.

Larry performs his deeply astonishing, thought-provoking illusions from coast-to-coast at nightclubs, theaters, and universities. Also, as a multiple award-winning teacher, Larry is regularly hired by businesses, organizations, and corporations to deliver entertaining and educational performance-talks for their employees, clients, and patrons.

Beyond this very active public career, Larry also has a private specialty. After 13 years teaching magic performance at the college level and many Master Classes at the McBride Magic & Mystery School in Las Vegas (where he holds the position of Associate Dean), Larry is widely regarded as a master teacher of magicians. Indeed, he regularly travels to local, national, and international gatherings to teach magicians how to perform their work with greater artistry and excellence.

Larry is also an award-winning author of books and essays on magic.  He is the author of the bestselling book for magicians Transformations: Creating Magic Out of Tricks and he is the editor and co-author of Gift Magic.  His essays, which have been translated into four languages, continue to be published in leading magic magazines and trade journals around the world. He is also the Founder and Publisher of Theory and Art of Magic Press, which produces books and other materials for magicians that are intended to feed their heads as well as their hands.
