August 2-5, 2026

General Registration opens on Wednesday, January 27, 2026, at 10 a.m. (Pacific Time).

The opening celebration kicks off Sunday evening, August 2, 2026. Registration is open throughout that day so you can get signed up and settled in.

The convention will end late Wednesday evening, August 5, 2026. If you do have to take a flight out Wednesday night, we suggest you book it after midnight. Of course, we would encourage you to spend Wednesday night at the hotel to relax and enjoy all the time possible with new and old friends.

Registration to MAGIC Live is $520 per person.

Each registration includes tickets to all performances, access to all sessions, workshops, special events, parties, and our dealer room, as well as all giveaway items.

While a registration to MAGIC Live is a little higher than other conventions, our hotel room rate is considerably lower at $94.99 per weeknight (and that includes the resort fee).

When you take the combined cost of our registration and hotel, and compare it to the cost of other conventions’ registration and hotel, you’ll find that MAGIC Live is actually less expensive.

And when you consider the quality of production and value received, MAGIC Live is one of the best bargains of the year!

You can either pay the registration fee in full ($520), or you can make a 50% deposit ($260) with the balance due March 25.

The last nine MAGIC Lives were sold out months in advance. By registering early, you guarantee yourself a spot.

Also, show schedules are selected at the time of purchase, so the earlier you register, the more options you have!

Our discounted room block at The Orleans is now open. For hotel details, please visit our Hotel page.

Your registration is 90% refundable through June 1, 2026. 

We believe that mystery and surprise are a big part of magic, and a big part of this unique event. So we will not be releasing the names of presenters or performers prior to the convention.

You will select your show schedule when you register.

Junior magicians are absolutely welcome at MAGIC Live!  Children under the age of 13 will need to be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

Please keep in mind that The Orleans Hotel is an entertainment/casino business governed by the laws of the State of Nevada and licensed by the State of Nevada Gaming Control Board. It is against the law for any minor (under the age of 21) to loiter in, or near, any gaming area.

Also, minors are not allowed to check-in or occupy a hotel room without the accompaniment of at least one person 21 years of age or older.

There is only one price to attend MAGIC Live.

Registration to MAGIC Live is $520 per person.

Each registration includes tickets to all performances, access to all sessions, workshops, special events, parties, and our dealer room, as well as all giveaway items.

Because MAGIC Live regularly sells out, we are not able to sell day passes or show tickets a la carte.

We consider the Dealer Room one of the “shows” of the convention, thus a registration is required to visit it. We do not have Dealer Room badges available.

Our 17,000 sq. ft. dealer room offers over 60 companies demonstrating the finest, newest, and most exciting magic routines, props, and theatrical accessories available today.

For information about the dealer room, please contact us.

We aim to make MAGIC Live as enjoyable as possible for all attendees. If you have any special needs, please contact us.
