We teach so much more than tricks.
There's a difference between learning a move and mastering sleight of hand.
a difference between knowing a method and understanding magic.
The Family is built around that difference.
What's Inside
The Family is built around four pillars.
Everything has a place and a purpose.
Performance-tested over three decades of real-world use. Each effect comes in three parts: a performance filmed for real audiences, a full explanation, and a Director's Commentary where Ben walks you through exactly how he thinks about it.
Masterclasses, drills, and meditations: a structured progression so you do not just learn a move, you master it. The methodology grows deeper every year. Year 5: Mastery is the current chapter.
Thirty-six short films on the craft of magic. A six-part documentary series. Deep dives into the greatest performers who ever lived. A regular podcast. The thinking behind the doing. And Ian. We'll let you discover him for yourself...
Extended peer-level effects and conversations with some of the most significant figures in magic, including:
Derren Brown - Dynamo - Asi Wind - Guy Hollingworth - Steve Cohen - Roberto Giobbi - Christian Grace - Tony Chang - Alex Pandrea - Justin Higham - Mark Calabrese

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
I've been learning from YouTube and books. Is this different?
Yes. Those are fine starting points, but they teach routines. The Family teaches you how to think about magic: the technique, the theory, and the performer's mindset behind everything. It is a different kind of education entirely.
I've been doing card magic for years but I don't feel like a real performer. Can this help?
Yes. The gap between technical ability and genuine performance confidence is one of the things The Family is specifically built to close. Knowing a move and owning a performance are two different skills. Ben teaches both. The repertoire, the philosophy, and the performance thinking that makes you feel completely at home in front of people.
I'M NOT AN ADVANCED MAGICIAN, IS THIS FOR ME?
Yes. The Family works across skill levels. The material meets you where you are and grows with you. If you have spent a couple of months learning card magic and want to get genuinely good, you are in the right place.
What is Mission Control?
Mission Control is Ben's complete, personal system for card magic mastery, being revealed for the first time this year as part of Year 5: Mastery. One video per week, each building on the last. Not a single move or technique. A structured path through the mechanics, psychology, and performance practice behind real mastery. Master the complete system and, with a normal deck, you will be better than 99% of magicians in the world. Join now and follow it live as it unfolds.
IS THIS FOR STAGE OR CLOSE-UP MAGICIANS?
The material works in any setting: close-up, casual, formal. It is built for real-world use.
IS IT JUST CARDS?
Cards are the focus, and the content reflects that. Coins, billets, and mentalism do appear, and the underlying principles are entirely transferable to whatever you already do.
DO I REALLY GET ACCESS TO BEN?
Yes. Live group sessions with Ben twice a week, plus the community forums. He is present, not just in the videos.
Can I watch offline or on my phone?
Yes. The Family app is available on iOS and Android. Download videos for offline viewing, build custom playlists, and save your favourites.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. Join with full access to everything. If within 30 days The Family does not feel like the most valuable investment you have made in your magic, simply cancel for a full refund. No questions asked.
CAN I CANCEL ANYTIME?
YES. THERE’S NO CONTRACT OR COMMITMENT, STAY ONLY AS LONG AS YOU’RE GROWING.
