Founded by DMV native and award-winning performer Brian Curry, the festival has evolved into a centerpiece for magic enthusiasts since its 2019 debut. This year’s programming spans three days of performances, ranging from family-oriented comedy and juggling by The Great Kaplan to the psychological illusions of Jason Suran. Other headliners include Puck, Benjamin Barnes, and international star Mark Kalin, who will perform evening sets throughout the weekend.

Beyond the stage, the hotel’s Statler Lounge will host nightly tableside magic sessions and offer themed beverages like the 'Truth Serum.' Guests can purchase tickets for individual performances or opt for the Festival of Magic package, which includes all-access passes and drink vouchers. Reservations for the weekend are currently open at the hotel’s website or via their dedicated booking line.
