As creator and director of The Theory and Art of Magic program, Hass has developed a national reputation as a leading thinker and ambassador for the art of magic. He has been an invited speaker for seminars and colloquia at institutions of higher learning, including the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Delaware. He is frequently consulted by newspapers, magazines and radio shows for commentary on magic.
Hass has gained national recognition among professional magicians. As a specialist in presentation and stagecraft, he was invited to teach an extended course on performance to magicians in Philadelphia. In 2003 he served as a faculty member at Jeff McBride's famous "Mystery School" in Las Vegas where he led discussion groups and delivered a keynote address.
Hass's award-winning, inspirational essays on magic performance and theory have been published in leading magazines for professional magicians. He is currently completing a book for magicians, “Transformations: Creating Magic Out of Tricks,” that articulates his theories of presentation in relation to pieces from his performing repertoire.
