Call for P-E-P Talk Presentations:
The 2026 ONLINE Magic and Meaning Conference will feature approximately sixteen 10-minute presentations from Conference attendees. We are now accepting proposals for presentations.
Presentations are welcome on any topic relating to the performance of magic in meaningful ways (broadly understood). They must be no more than 10 minutes in length. To see what these presentations are like, please go to this page of All-Star Presentations and view any of those from 2024: https://vimeo.com/showcase/12196008
To submit a proposal to present at the Conference, please send a detailed 100-word description of your topic, with a title, to Katherine Rettke, the Conference’s Executive Assistant, at katrettke@gmail.com. All proposals are due to Katherine by September 15, 2026.
Final Notes, Please Read Carefully:
You will be informed by October 1, 2026, if your presentation has been accepted. (Please be aware that in the past we have received many more submissions than we have been able to accept.)
Registering for the Conference is required to present there. For more information about the Magic and Meaning Conference or to register for it, please visit: https://shop.magicalwisdom.com/event/magic-meaning-conference-2026-live-online
With appropriate permission, some of the presentations will be made available as videos to people who become Members of the Magic & Mystery School at the Supporting level ($50 per year), the Premier level ($100 per year), and the Gold Circle level ($500 per year). After subtracting $30 to cover base operational costs, the rest of those membership fees go directly into the Magic & Mystery School Scholarship Fund, which provides need-based financial aid to students who currently cannot pay the full price for their magic education. On behalf of the students who will benefit from your generosity—by donating your presentation or by becoming a member yourself—we thank you!
