We have created a new way to experience and develop your magic

Why we're doing it

We, Andi and Josh, want to produce an event that digs deeper than the conventions we're used to attending. Quite simply, we have created exactly the kind of seminar we would want to be at, and learn from, and share with people.

We have said to each other many times in our own way, "I'd like to spend a couple days with magicians like Ben Earl, Rune Klan, Paul Vigil, and Dani DaOrtiz, away from the crowds." Now we will. We've developed a curated schedule of events that would be impossible at a convention, but it's perfect for an intimate workshop seminar. The Retreat is about connecting and learning with the best magicians in the world in order to improve your own magic.

And there's a fun element, too. We've always felt that the magic convention experience is so magic-focused that we often overlook what's around us. By setting The Retreat at a wellness retreat in Costa Rica, we will be SURE to enjoy the stunning surroundings as we enjoy the high-level conversations, shows, and lectures we have planned.

What will we do?

Each day you'll be treated to hands-on seminars by our special guests, Dani DaOrtiz and Paul Vigil. In addition, we have some unbelievable "staff" talent. All together, you'll get three densely packed "sessions" each day, as well as surprise shows and events.

You'll also have an opportunity for private tuition each day, where you'll work with Dani and Paul and our staff on your show. Always wanted to learn a particular move? Learn it from the master. Hung up on a detail in your show? Ask the experts. You will have face time, one on one, with all of our talent.

And on each day, we have a "field trip" planned. There might be zip-lining. There could be waterfalls. A sloth might be involved. All events are optional, of course. If you're not into the more adventurous activities, take a nap, take a yoga class or a dip in the luxurious pool. As Dani would say, "It's your life."

What do you get?

Quite simply, you get an unforgettable three-days designed specifically to raise your level in magic. You will set goals when you arrive and our staff will work to make sure you achieve these goals, or are set on the right path to achieve them in time.

• You will get PRIVATE lessons from our staff.
• You will be treated to new and unpublished magic from our star guests.
• You will be gifted a gorgeous "The Retreat Package," a take-home packet that summarizes and extends all the content you're learning. These souvenir booklets will forever act as reminders and refreshers to the content you're learning during The Retreat. These packets will NEVER be on sale. They're for our guests at The Retreat.

And, corny as it sounds, you're going to make new friends. The nature of this event is so radical, so niche, that if you join us, you'll be amongst a wonderful, sharing, and driven group of people serious about their magic and their fun. It will be a collection of curious souls with a desire to improve. There are wanderlusters amongst us in magic, and we intend to find you at The Retreat.
