World's first Woman Magicians' Convention: Maya 2010

Thiruvananthapuram: To mark its 14th anniversary, the Magic Academy is organising the world's first woman magicians' convention on 30th May 2010 in Thiruvananthapuram. Christened, 'Maya 2010', the convention will offer memorable day showcasing the female prowess of the country in the art of magic. Though male magicians can register as delegates for the event, significant part of the event is exclusively reserved for lady magicians. For examples no group registration of 2 or more members is possible unless the request is signed by a female leader. No magic dealer can demonstrate the working of their props on the stage if they do not have a female magician for undertaking the job. Also the competitions - the major item of the event - are reserved solely for woman magicians.

Besides regular competitions for seniors and juniors in stage and close-up sections of magic, there will be an interesting section titled, Kitchen Magic introduced for the first time. In Kitchen Magic competitions, participants are expected to use a range of household utensils and vegetables instead of common gadgets of magic. More over the performer should be in traditional housewife dress than magician's costumes. All competitions are however restricted to a maximum of 8 minutes.
