We are sad to report that Harry Lorayne has passed away this morning.

Harry was the 2002 NEMCON honoree and a performer/lecturer at the convention in 1985 and 2002.

Hello everyone!

I just wanted to give a thank you to everyone for supporting our annual auction at NEMCON to support the Thomas R Prete Memorial Scholarship for the Arts.

Since 2009, thanks to your generosity, we have given away over 20 scholarships to worthy graduating High School Seniors.

This year, through your bids and donations, we have raised over $800!

Thank you again…and see you next year!

PS. If you’re clearing stuff out that you’d like to donate to the auction…let me know…I’m starting tomorrow to prep for next year! 😂😂

Mike Gagne
Auction Chairman.

A longer post is coming but we just wanted to say THANK YOU! This was one of the greatest NEMCON's we can remember. We had so much fun with all our friends.
Safe travels to everyone getting home and of course...
SEE YOU NEXT YEAR!

We are only 2 weeks away from NEMCON 41!
Another featured performer at this years convention is our friend from Atlanta Kyle Littleton! From being on Penn & Teller Fool Us to his incredible releases to the magic community (No Sense, Giraffe Switch, 400 Lux and more) Kyle has accomplished so much. But the future will hold more amazing releases as this past year Kyle released his first book Shattered Porcelain.
Come meet and annoy Kyle and all our performers at this years NEMCON

The entire crew/members of NEMCON and S.A.M. 127 would like to send our deepest condolences to the friends & family of Scott Alexander. We are all so saddened to hear of Scott's passing. He was an incredible talent and friend to so many. We will always appreciate his performances and lectures as a guest at NEMCON.

NEMCON 41 is so excited to have performing and lecturing, Stuart Mcdonald. Stuart was supposed to be with us at 2 different NEMCON's, but because of that stupid pandemic we had to move things around. But finally, Stuart is bringing his award winning act to CT.
Stuart is a P&T Fooler, IBM/SAM 1st Place winner, FISM North America Winner and so much more. Come see Stuart and his amazing blend of manipulation, magic and mayhem at NEMCON 41

NEMCON 41 Is back and bigger than ever. We have 2 Friday night events by Penn & Teller Fool Us alumni.
Blaise Serra is the future of magic. Just ask Penn Jillete. With amazing card skills, an eye for visual magic and a stage presence far beyond his years it's no wonder Blaise has been a consultant for big names in magic, featured performer at Speakeasy Magick and a sought after performer by TV and theaters around the world.
Blaise has lectured at Blackpool and now comes back to his home state of CT with a special Friday night lecture you will not want to miss.

Thank you to everyone who donated items, bid on the auction, or made donations to this year’s NEMCON auction for the benefit of our fellow magi, Charles “Chick” Kelman.

Together, we raised over $500 to help our friend!

UPDATE:
We are sad & happy to make this announcement. Stuart MacDonald has a scheduling conflict & can't attend this year. We hope to have him at NEMCON very soon.
So we had to replace him with another Penn & Teller Fool Us Winner, Garrett Thomas! Garrett has performed across his home state of New York, around the country, including at the Magic Castle in Hollywood, in Canada and overseas. He has been a regular writer and consultant to David Blaine since 2003.
