International Brotherhood of Magicians Annual Convention

July 3-7, 2012
Norfolk, Virginia
http://www.magician.org

In 2012, magic’s first and longest running convention will be going to one of America’s oldest regions - Norfolk, Virginia. Magicians from all over the world will congregate to conjure and compete. This year will include some of magic's most celebrated headliners on the stage, in close-up and in the lecture halls. Names of talent already booked are listed below but registrants will also enjoy Paul Gertner's one-man play, "Ten Fingers". And of course we will feature one of the most prestigious magic contests in the world: the Gold Cups and the Gold Medal competitions. Will you be the next to win? If you don't try, then you'll never know.

As a vacation city, Norfolk is one of the Mid-Atlantic’s most exciting destinations and attracts thousands of travelers each year to enjoy its lively waterfront downtown which is easily walkable and alive with eclectic dining options, a rich arts scene, high-end shopping and fun, year-round special events. For 400 years this dynamic heart of Virginia’s storied sea front region has offered a vibrant blend of history and heritage, contemporary attractions, outdoor adventure and the Commonwealth’s most revered cultural institutions.
