Dubbed The Gathering International Magic Convention, it will be the first of its kind in the country and is born out of the camaraderie formed by more than 25 local and international magic clubs.
Participants of the convention will be vying for the coveted title of Magikerong Pilipino, a premiere nationwide magic competition that aims to promote advocacy, ambition, the magic of art, and the art of magic.

The winning Filipino magician will not only earn the distinction of being the best in the land, but will also become an ambassador for his craft in terms of humility, wit, skill, and artistry in magic.
