One of the top attractions of the weekend are the lectures by each of our 4 headliner magicians. We work hard to get the very best. They're always great teachers as well as entertaining people. You can bank on having a ball and learning a lot from every one of them!
We have evening shows on Fri & Sat night. Find details on the Evening Shows tab.
These shows are included in your registration, and are the only events the public can buy tickets for: $25 in advance or $30 at the door. All seating is general - however the front 2 rows are designated for the public, on a first come basis.
On Saturday morning we get to see each of the headliners perform close-up shows genuinely close up. Us attendees split up and gather around tables in 3 different rooms, then the performers rotate around doing a 15-20 minute set in each room.
On Sunday we bring our headliners together on stage to talk about magic topics of their choosing, as well as topics you bring up. A moderator guides the way through this chemistry of thoughts.
Tables are $75 plus adult registration. As of mid-Jan all eight tables are spoken for. Call or email Greg with questions. (Remember you can still bring items to the Sunday Swap.)
The 2024 contest will again be PARLOUR MAGIC, suitable for an audience of approx 40 people.
Limited to the first 10 sign ups. For sign ups & questions contact Richard Kennedy.
The 2023 contest winner was Steve Aldrich! He will act as a judge at the 2025 contest.
We sometimes talk the headliners into offering extra-fee workshops on Sunday. Follow this link for more info.
In recent years we've had workshops by John Carney, Asi Wind, Banachek, Richard Osterlind, Rocco, Jonathan Levit, & Robert Ramirez.
For many, this is the heart of the weekend. In-between events, during meals, & late at night attendees informally gather to share their hobby in this sea of kindred spirits. People gather in the venue room, the atrium, the restaurant, and in their hotel rooms. PMJ veterans please make the new folks feel welcome in this setting!
On Sunday anyone is welcome to bring any magic props they want to sell or swap. We'll have plenty of table space for everyone's items. There isn't a particular start or stop time, so set your stuff out anytime on Sunday!
Share this around as you please!
