Celebrating 40 years since the first Gathering in 1986, the biennial Yankee Gathering brings magic historians and collectors together for three days hosted by the New England Magic Collectors Association (NEMCA), a 501(c)(3) organization. The 2026 guest of honor is Stephen Minch: performer, author, and publisher, who will present and sit for a question and answer session.
The program features presentations from a deep bench of magic historians and collectors, a curated auction, a dealers room, and an exhibition hall. Registration includes the Thursday opening night Wine and Cheese social and the Saturday evening gala dinner with performances (dinner choices: roast chicken, eggplant parmesan, or cabbage stir fry). New for 2026: lightning presentations, pub trivia, and a few surprises. First-timers are welcome.
The host hotel is the DoubleTree by Hilton in Nashua, New Hampshire, about 12 miles from Manchester-Boston Regional Airport and 45 miles from Boston Logan, with an on-site restaurant and bar, a 50-person amphitheater, and a social lounge.
Register online with a credit card or PayPal, or by mail. Refunds are 100% before September 1, 2026, 90% from September 1 through October 1, and none after October 1; registrations are transferable to another person until November 5. Questions: registrar@nemca.com.
