Tristate Magic Convention 2026

The first annual Tristate Magic Convention comes to Evansville September 18 and 19, 2026, bringing magic enthusiasts, magicians and performers to the city for the first time in decades, and serving the Indiana, Kentucky and Illinois tristate.

Both days run 9am to 9pm at the Twin Towers Banquet Hall on North Green River Road: vendors showing and selling the newest things in magic, featured lectures from Bruce Amato, Duane Laflin, Jimmy Rook and Michael P. Lair, and each night closing with a show from professional magicians. Everything is family friendly, and the event benefits three local non-profits: 911 Gives Hope, Deaconess Riley Hospital for Children, and Borrowed Hearts.

A two-day pass is 75 dollars and a one-day pass is 50 dollars, both including that day's lectures. The evening shows are ticketed separately at 20 dollars and are open to everyone. For information, the organizers have published 812-598-4813, and announcements land in the Tristate Magic Convention Facebook group.
