Masters of Magic Convention 2027

Masters of Magic has called Saint-Vincent, in Italy's Aosta Valley, home for more than twenty years. The same team produced the FISM World Championships of Magic in Rimini in 2015 and Turin in 2025, and the FISM European Championship in 2024.

The 2027 convention runs from 14 to 16 May across the Centro Congressi Billia and the Palais Saint-Vincent, a few minutes' walk apart in the centre of town. The programme has a Grand Gala and a Close-up Gala, ten lectures, four workshops, more than 50 dealers, the Italian championships and the Victor Balli Award, a Magic Midnight Show, a solo show, two late-night magic sessions, two Spaghetti Parties and the Golden Grolla Award ceremony.

Registration opens on the afternoon of Thursday 13 May. Doors open at 8:00 on Friday, and the last events run late into Sunday night. Gala seats are assigned in order of registration, so earlier bookings sit closer to the stage. VIP passes add front seating at the lectures and galas, a workshop with one of the guest masters, a welcome kit and a fast registration desk.

Lectures are in English with Italian translation, and the shows are mostly visual. There is a separate pass for under-18s.

The Golden Grolla is the convention's own award, named after the Aosta Valley's carved friendship cup. Past recipients include David Copperfield, Juan Tamariz, René Lavand, Max Maven and Dynamo.

The first name in the 2027 cast is Kevin James, who came up with the floating rose David Copperfield still performs. Four more names are still to be announced.
