14th Annual Magic Valley Magic Convention – Oct 3-5, 2024

Created and hosted by Bob and Lucy Sanders - Free since 2010!

Magicians’ Flea Market

Magicians’ Flea Market

One of our favorite happenings each year is the magicians’ flea market. Come buy, sell, and trade YOUR unused magic! If you’d like to set up a booth of your own, we welcome you! Tables are limited, so it’s best to bring your own; but if you don’t have one, please request a table and we will try to accommodate you. The flea market is held outside in the Magic Valley Ranch arena. Cash is universal, but different vendors use different methods for sales. Some will even consider trades.

CloseUp & Stage Shows

CloseUp & Stage Shows

Magic Valley Magic hosts several close up shows and stage shows each year. All activities at the Magic Valley Magic Convention are free to attend! However, we do ask you to pre-register so we know how many to expect. You can simply send an email to inform us of your intent to attend. (Use the contact form). If you are a skilled performer, we invite you to participate in the closeup and/or stage shows as well. Not all requests are able to be accommodated, but we want to give many people a chance to showcase their skills. There are no paid performance spots at Magic Valley Magic – all activities are free. We have had numerous professional performers in years past including Dan Harlan, Duane Laflin, Matt Adams, Joe Harrison, Sean Ridgeway, Bently Burns, Brian Reaves, and many more. To be considered for a performance spot at our next convention, please use the contact form and let us know about your act.

Open Mic & Lectures

Open Mic & Lectures

Want to showcase your talents in a more casual environment? Each year we have a jam session called “open mic” where you can showcase routines you are working on, tricks you are developing, etc. These do not have to be fully-finished or fully-polished routines. We are all friends here! In addition to the open mic, we also have special guest lecturers each year. If you’d like to be considered as a lecturer, please use the contact form to let us know about your specific lecture topic.
