Magic-Con is an interactive conference for those serious about the art of magic, where those in attendance can share ideas, insight, and a common experience while working together towards the advancement of an art form.

Mission

As their mission to advance the art of magic, Magic-Con provides a platform for magic’s smartest thinkers, greatest visionaries, and top performers offering presentations behind the art, science and technology of magic. Through this shared knowledge, they aim to cultivate the next generation of magic through inspiration.

Conference

Magic-Con is not a traditional magic convention. It is an intellectual conference for those serious about the art. It is a full three day weekend of lectures, discussions, interviews, performances, presentations, interactive activities and whatever else the organizers can dream up.

In addition to lectures, there will be talks and presentations by non-magic professionals on topics such as: entertainment, business, science, art, and technology. These are just a few examples of fields the organizers strongly feel our art can benefit from.
