Magic & Meaning 2021 - Live ONLINE
The Magic & Meaning Conference Will Be Online Again in 2021! Join Us as We Celebrate FIFTEEN Years!
Our Special Guest at this year's event in Dan Harlan.
The 2020 Online Magic and Meaning Conference was a smash success: it drew well over one hundred participants from around the world--people who would not otherwise have been able to attend. Further, our online community has grown by leaps and bounds since the beginning of 2020. Since Magic and Meaning is our School's "homecoming event," and since our presence has become so global, we have decided, once again, to hold the 2021 Magic and Meaning Conference online.
As has always been the case, the Conference will feature 18 of our remarkable P-E-P Talks by attendees. (Go HERE to see how you can submit a proposal to make a presentation to the community.) It will also feature Ensemble Shows, break-out room discussions, teaching magic effects, and this year we will complete our celebration of the four archetypical tools of magic by featuring a FESTIVAL OF COINS.
Hosted by the Magic & Mystery School Faculty, the Magic and Meaning Conference is an annual gathering of magicians, scholars, public speakers, professionals from many areas, and performers of diverse arts. It is for anyone who loves magic, storytelling, the philosophy of magic, and who wants to think about magic in new ways.
