August 2-5, 2026

The opening celebration kicks off Sunday evening, August 2, 2026, around 7:30 pm. 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.

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

Yes, your registration is transferable.

If you are facilitating the transfer using our online registration platform, the transfer must be completed by Saturday, August 1, at 12:00 Noon Pacific Time. After that, all registration transfers must go through the MAGIC Live office and are subject to a service fee.

A registration cannot be transferred once it has been picked up.

There are two ways to transfer your registration:

1. Securely through our Registration System
(Must be completed by Saturday, August 1 at 12:00 Noon Pacific Time)

You can initiate the transfer online here, or if you have your confirmation number (starts with ML2026), you can use this link. Be sure to enter the email address you used in the billing section of the registration form. You’ll be asked to enter the recipients’ details (first name, last name, and email address).

Once the transfer is initiated, the person you’re transferring to will receive an email with instructions on how to claim the registration. After they’ve completed the form and made payment, you will receive a full refund.

2. Independent Sale or Gift
(No service fee if completed before Saturday, August 1 at 12:00 Noon Pacific Time. A registration cannot be transferred once it has been picked up.)

If you privately sold your registration or are gifting it to a friend, your transfer needs to be made directly through the MAGIC Live office. 

To initiate the transfer, please send us an email with the following information for the replacement registrant (the person you are transferring your registration to):

Legal name:
Stage name (if applicable):
Email:
Mobile phone:
Address:
Date of birth:

Both the original registrant and the replacement registrant will be emailed once completed. 

As we approach a sell-out, many of the remaining Show Track options include a standby ticket for our Close-up Show. These standby tickets are good for any performance of the Close-up Show, space permitting.  Historically, this has not been a problem, as we have been able to accommodate everyone in the standby queue.

In the past, only 70% of our registrants attend the close-up show. The problem is that we do not know in advance who the other 30% will be. We either have to build a larger (less-intimate) venue or schedule extra shows. Either way, the experience is not the best.

Instead, our policy is to guarantee seats to the first 70% of registrants, and place the balance on standby. This system has been in place since 2011 and, so far, all of those interested have gotten in to enjoy close-up magic in the most intimate setting possible.

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

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.

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.

Service animals, as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act, are the only animals allowed. Please contact us in advance.

We aim to make MAGIC Live as enjoyable as possible for all attendees. If you have any special needs, you can note this when submitting your registration, or you can contact us.
