Our annual magic weekend was again FANTASTIC!
Our 4 headliners all gave us 200%!
JASON LADANYE was here from New York City; DAN SPERRY from Las Vegas; and STEPHEN BARGATZE from Nashville; and GREGORY WILSON from Venice, CA! You can still see their info on the Headliners tab.
Each year you count on us to put together a FANTASTIC WEEKEND OF MAGIC, and this year did not disappoint! We all gave our magic circuits a big boost and learned from some of the sharpest magicians in the business.

BONUSES:
- Dan Sperry did his fantastic DOVE ACT! Stephen Bargatze was a literal laugh riot! Jason Ladayne knocked us into a standing ovation for his wonderfully entertaining card work! And Gregory Wilson was his usual master class in charisma and audience management! We were SO HAPPY to have so many from the public to enjoy it with us.
- EVERYONE in attendance received 3-months of free full-access to the entire magic video catalog at Enfilo. The link and personal passcode code was on the back of each nametag. Enfilo is a Netflix-style website with videos by top magicians including Dani DaOrtiz, Juan Tamariz, Max Maven, Eugene Burger, Shawn Farquhar, and many many more.
- And we had a great dealer's room, joined by icons such as ROY KUEPPERS and Robert Ramiriz!
Next year's event will likely be Fri-Sun March 24-26, 2023, but that date is currently fluid.

Over the past 12 years the PMJ has been growing nicely. And along the way it's been a great time for everyone involved - including the headliners! Looking back at our list of past headliners - holy cow! The masters who've joined us have done great lectures, great evening & close up shows, and had some great chemistry in our panel discussion. On top of all this we've found them extremely accessible hanging out with us between events!
Our move to the PDX Sheraton in 2017 has been a great step up. The extra space allows us more attendance, more dealers, more elbow room, and the added electricity of opening the evening shows to the public.
Started in 2009, the PMJ is an annual 3-day magic convention that brings together magicians from Oregon & Washington and beyond for a great weekend of learning & camaraderie. It's open to all levels of magic enthusiasts from beginners to hobbyists to seasoned pros. It's a weekend packed with instructional lectures, shows, magic dealers, a panel discussion, a contest, and the camaraderie of (typically 150) fellow magicians.
We can't believe the headliners we continue to host each year! See the complete list at the Past Headliners tab.
