A quick salute to the 4 masters of our 2025 event!

Erik Tait,

John Guastaferro,

Jon Armstrong

& Eric Jones!

Contrary to it's appearance, this was NOT geared towards close up magic! Jon focused entirely on stand up magic, and Eric Jones was a great mix of both, as he spends 200 days/year performing in the main theaters on Disney Cruises. Plus all 4 headliners shared their thoughts on theory.

The PMJ keeps reaching new levels of awesome!

Over the past 17 years, the PMJ has been thriving as one of the premier magician conventions in Portland, Oregon. Throughout this journey, it has been a fantastic experience for everyone involved, including the headliners! The masters who have joined us at the Portland Magic Jam have delivered incredible lectures, outstanding evening and close-up shows, and have exhibited great chemistry during our panel discussions on Portland magic.

Event History & Overview

Started in 2009, the PMJ is an annual 3-day magician convention that brings together magicians from Oregon & Washington and beyond for a fantastic weekend of learning, being wowed, and camaraderie. This event is the perfect opportunity to enhance your magic skills in the vibrant Portland magic scene! Open to all levels of magic enthusiasts, from beginners to hobbyists to seasoned pros, the weekend is filled with instructional lectures, captivating shows, magic dealers, a panel discussion, a contest, and the camaraderie of 150 fellow magicians.
