2026 I.B.M. Convention

Spend four days in St. Louis with the International Brotherhood of Magicians, surrounded by performers, lecturers, dealers, and fellow magic enthusiasts from around the world. The 2026 convention includes evening shows, learning sessions, the Grand Banquet, contests, and time to connect between events.

The Dealer’s Room gives attendees a place to browse new magic, props, and collectibles, while close-up and stage contests spotlight creative performers across different styles of the art. Youth members ages 12 to 21 can take part in the free Lance Burton Teen Seminar, led by Gabriella Lester, with hands-on workshops and mentorship.

Connie Boyd, an award-winning magician, producer, writer, and founder of the Magical Women Project, will be honored as Guest of Honor. The convention is hosted at the Marriott St. Louis Airport, placing attendees close to the sessions, shows, and informal late-night magic that make an I.B.M. gathering feel like a true meeting place for the craft.
