Escorial Convention

Escorial, "Jornadas Cartomágicas" (Days of Card Magic), is an annual invitation-only card magic convention where the top European card workers meet in the small village of El Escorial, Spain.

Originally hosted by Juan Tamariz, starting in the 1974, it is sponsored by the Escuela Mágica de Madrid, one of Spain’s elite magic clubs.

Reinhard Muller created some of the programs for the events, as well as David Solomon.

Each year, select topics are presented and discussed.
