Chris Kenner stands as a prominent figure in the world of magic, known for his profound contributions to the craft. For many years, he has managed the magic and business endeavors of the legendary David Copperfield. Beyond this, Kenner is celebrated for his exceptional sleight-of-hand skills and innovative spirit.

He is the mastermind behind the iconic Three Fly coin routine and published his groundbreaking book, Totally Out of Control, in 1992. This pivotal work revolutionized close-up magic and is often credited with influencing the emergence of cardistry through the introduction of the Sybil Cut. Kenner’s approach marked a shift towards a more dynamic style of magic, emphasizing visually captivating performances.

Despite his significant impact, Kenner seldom shares his magic publicly, rarely appearing online or at conventions. Therefore, we are thrilled to feature him in our Masterclass series, where he will impart his extraordinary skills in card and coin magic, among other techniques. This is a rare chance to learn from a true master.

The Masterclass includes three live 90-minute sessions on July 4, July 11, and July 18. The final session will conclude with a Zoom hangout, providing an opportunity to ask Chris any questions you may have.

All sessions are scheduled to start at 4 PM EST (NYC Time).
