This year's Magic Week focuses on "close-up magic" and covers five major sections: performance, competition, academic, charity, prop exhibition and magic market. The East Theater and Experimental Theater of the Cultural and Art Guidance Center of Pudong New Area, Shanghai will stage ten wonderful performances on three stages.

Last year, Liu Qian returned to Shanghai International Magic Week as a judge, and this year he was invited to serve as a judge again. The "International Close-up Magic Rookie Competition" attracts outstanding players from home and abroad to participate. The youngest magician is only 12 years old.In addition, the seven magic lecture series provides valuable learning and exchange opportunities for magic enthusiasts and practitioners. During the four-day professional props exhibition, 14 exhibitors from China, Japan, and South Korea displayed the most cutting-edge magic props and technologies. The newly created Magic Market will last for five days and integrates magic stalls, magic transfer stations, and intangible cultural heritage. The audience can deeply experience the cross-border integration of tradition and modernity. Next year’s Magic Week will be renovated with “stage magic” as its core, and the content will be rotated to ensure that Magic Week can bring focused and diverse magic performances to the audience every year.
