MAGiCon2027

MAGiCon2027 returns to Raleigh, North Carolina on April 9–10, 2027 for another unforgettable weekend of magic, artistry, learning, and connection.


We’re already hard at work curating this year’s convention experience,  and this page will continue to grow in the coming weeks.


We're so excited to share what's ahead.

A Convention for Magicians and a Festival for Fans of Magic

Lectures and Workshops

MAGiCon’s lectures are curated around a simple belief: great magicians can learn from everyone.


Whether your passion is close-up magic, stage illusion, mentalism, storytelling, comedy, or something difficult to categorize entirely, MAGiCon is designed to bring magicians together across styles, perspectives, and experience levels.


Alongside lectures from internationally respected performers and creators, we also celebrate extraordinary regional talent and explore magic-adjacent topics that deepen our understanding of performance, communication, psychology, creativity, and wonder itself.

Learn About 2026's Talent

Vendors & Magical Curiosities

From handcrafted magical tools to rare finds, books, artwork, performance pieces, and unexpected treasures, MAGiCon’s Vendor Space is filled with discoveries waiting to be uncovered.

Featuring magic dealers, creators, artists, and specialty vendors from across the community, the space is designed not simply for shopping, but for exploration, conversation, and shared wonder throughout the weekend.


The Vendors are open to convention attendees all weekend and to the public during Saturday’s festival events.

MAGiCon2027 Shows

We are putting together an incredible line-up of shows for 2027. As always, we will have a special Early-Bird Show the Thursday evening before MAGiCon, our Friday Evening Showcase, and The Big Stage Show on Saturday!


  Your tickets are included with Registration, and our shows are open to the public... making the perfect opportunity to share the magic with friends and family.

More Than A Convention

MAGiCon has always been about more than lectures and performances. It is a space designed to bring people together through shared wonder, creativity, and connection.


Throughout the weekend, magicians have opportunities not only to learn from extraordinary performers and creators, but also to build friendships, exchange ideas, and share magic with the wider community through our public festival events and evening shows.


The result is an atmosphere that feels vibrant, welcoming, and deeply alive... where memorable moments happen just as often between events as they do on stage.
