We welcome presentations from across disciplines that are themed around rigorous research or theory directed toward understanding the nature, function, and underlying mechanisms of magic and illusion. We also invite submissions from practitioners who have applied principles of theatrical magic in unique settings. SoMA is an inclusive organization that welcomes members with diverse backgrounds including science and technology, humanities, practicing magicians, and individuals who are simply interested in science and magic.
The conference will be taking place on November 12-13, 2024 in Las Vegas, Nevada at the Golden Nugget Casino.

Teller, who will be attending (and, perhaps ironically, speaking) as this year’s Guest of Honor
