Below are answers to some of our most Frequently Asked Questions.

When is MAGIC Live?

August 3-6, 2025

When does online registration open?

General Registration opens on Wednesday, January 22, at 10 a.m. (Pacific Time).

How much is a registration and what does it include?

Registration to MAGIC Live is $495 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.

Can I purchase more than one registration?

Registrations must be purchased one at a time.

If you need to purchase an additional registration (say, for a friend or family member), first complete your registration, then start over and purchase the additional registration. Be sure and select the same show track.

Is MAGIC Live more expensive than other magic conventions?

While registration to MAGIC Live is a little higher than other conventions, our hotel room rate is considerably lower ($54 per night plus resort fee and tax).

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!

Are there payment options available?

You can either pay the registration fee in full ($495), or you can make a 50% deposit ($247.50) with the balance due March 15.

Why should I sign up early?

The last eight 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!

How can I get the same show schedule as my friends?
For the first time, you’ll be selecting your show schedule when you register. All you and your friends need to do is select the same track when registering.
We recommend discussing the track options in advance, selecting a track with enough remaining seats, and coordinating the time you’ll all register.
Can I change my show track after I've completed registration?

You can set up an account with our registration site, then go back in and change your show track to any other track that is available.

Additionally, your tickets can be used as standby for any other performance.

When does MAGIC Live begin and end?

The opening celebration kicks off Sunday evening, August 3, 2025. Registration is open throughout that day so you can get signed up and settled in.

The convention will end late Wednesday evening, August 6, 2025. 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.

Where is the convention being held?
MAGIC Live will be held at The Orleans Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.
When can I book my hotel room?

Our discounted room block at The Orleans is open, and you can make your reservation online or by calling (800) 675-3267 or (702) 365-7111. Be sure to use the MAGIC Live discount code: MAGIC25

You may transfer your registration up until Saturday, August 2, at 12:00 Noon Pacific Time. (See “How do I transfer my registration?”)

How do I transfer my registration?

Our registration system makes transferring your registration simple and secure. The person you’re transferring to will receive an email with instructions on how to claim the registration. Once they’ve made the payment through the system, you will receive a full refund.

Registrations are transferrable through Saturday, August 2 at 12:00 Noon Pacific Time.

When will you be announcing who's booked at MAGIC Live?

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.

When will I get to pick my showtimes?

For the first time, you will be selecting your show schedule when you register.
