Connected: Live

AN ONLINE MAGIC CONVENTION
MARCH 20TH, 2021

“Connected: Live” is an all-day online magic convention dedicated to virtual magic shows. Whether you’re a virtual magic veteran or just LOVE magic in general, this convention will provide a blueprint for developing the best possible show and exploring all the opportunities virtual magic can provide. You’ll enjoy virtual performances, lectures, panel discussions, and interactions with top luminaries in the industry.

Like our acclaimed “Connected” virtual magic download series, we have assembled the most successful and innovative minds in the virtual space. In addition to teaching a wide variety of powerful, audience-tested virtual magic tricks, they will also lead discussions on building a virtual studio on any budget (including a mobile studio for when you’re on-the-go), effective show construction, connecting with your audience through a screen, leveraging your virtual studio to grow your social media following and more!

As various countries began to slowly emerge from the shadow of the pandemic, we’ll also be sharing the results of our exclusive “Future of Virtual Magic” survey that we conducted with 500 magicians from around the world. The results will surprise you!

“Connected: Live” will be streamed online and available to download afterward.
