Magic-Con 2010 will take place March 18th-21st 2010 at the The San Diego Bayfront, San Diego. The first Magic-Con annual conference will bring together magic’s most creative thinkers, historians, and performers for an unforgettable event that will inspire, motivate, and transcend your outlook on the art. Full details and registration can be found on the main website: http://magic-con.org or in our updates.

Registration for Magic-Con will be limited and it is expected it to fill up fast. The reason the organisers are keeping the conference small is to provide an intimate feel throughout and allow everyone to hopefully get to know each other on a personal level. Many of the events at Magic-Con will require everyone’s participation too, which would be a near impossible task if registration was unlimited.

This price does not include hotel accommodation. There is a special discounted rate at the Hilton Bayfront for Magic-Con registrants.

*Registration for the first 100 people will be only $199.
