MORNING TEA, LUNCH, AFTERNOON TEA INCLUDED

We’d like to invite you to be part of this unique day, to gather with fellow magicians and revitalise your magic!

You might be surprised to know that there are more than 80 professional magicians in NSW. They perform on cruise ships, in theatres, at corporate and private events, family events and even in people’s homes. Add to this the vast number of amateur magicians, semi-pros and enthusiasts who add to the fabric of our industry and we are a diverse group with much to share.
This unique event, sponsored by The International Brotherhood of Magicians Ring 102 and Geniis Magical Society will bring together professional talks and seminars, creative magic lectures and performances all aimed to help you improve your performance and your business.
Traditional magic conventions are held on weekends making it nearly impossible for a professional entertainer to attend. That’s why we’ve taken the unique step of moving it to a Monday!
Parking at the venue is free and the North Ryde train station is 1.5km away.
North Ryde RSL, 27-41 Magdala Rd, North Ryde NSW 2113
28th of October 2024. Registration with tea and coffee from 8:30am. Expected to end around 9pm after Gala show.
