On September 20 and 21 on the main stage Moscow Theater of Illusion, subordinate to the metropolitan Department of Culture, the most anticipated event of the year in the world of magic will take place — III Russian Illusion Forum, which this year has acquired international status. This is the first and only performance in Moscow by illusionists of international caliber, winners and prize-winners of world championships in magic tricks.
For two days from 09:00 to 22:00, guests will enjoy professional skill competitions, lectures, master classes by the best illusionists from Russia and abroad, discussions, and show programs. There will also be two gala shows — “Magnificent Illusion” and “World Stars of Magic” featuring Iden Choi and Junwoo Park from South Korea, Viktor Rener from Germany, Vladimir Grigoriev, Vadim Savenkov, and Sergey Safronov from Russia.
Legendary illusionists will reveal the secrets of staging acts and share years of experience. The jury includes esteemed Russian and foreign artists such as Sergey Safronov, Ekaterina Medvedeva, Vadim Savenkov, Junwu Pak, Dmitry Chirikov, Viktor Rener, and Vladimir Rudnev.
The Moscow Theater of Illusion has long become a magnet for professionals — here they study, experiment, and create full-length multi-genre shows that can rival the best Western productions. The results of last year’s forums were releases of illusion shows “On the Edge of Reality” with Sergey Vorontsov, “Magnificent Illusion” with Ingvar, “Magic Champions Show,” and “Mysteries of the Orient Express,” which are currently generating box office revenue. Thanks to the forum, the theater troupe has been joined by the best illusionists from Russia and Europe: Evgeny Zeynullin, Daniel Sankin, Vladimir Grigoriev, Vadim Savenkov, and others.
The Moscow Theater of Illusion is located at 3 Lazo Street. The ticket is valid for all forum events for two days — contests, master classes, gala shows, and a fair of illusion props dealers. Tickets can be purchased without markup or commission on the platform “Mosbilet”.
“Mosbilet” — the official service on the mos.ru portal, through which you can purchase tickets to theaters, museums, concert halls, and other institutions subordinate to the Moscow Department of Culture, without commission or markups. The service page features announcements of the most anticipated events, season premieres, activities within city festivals, exhibitions, performances, and concerts taking place in the upcoming weekend.
You can purchase a ticket directly through the service.

Mandatory fields must be filled in manually if the account is simplified. When arranging tickets for young guests through the service, all data must be entered only by the accompanying adult. For children under 14, only last name, first name, patronymic, and date of birth can be specified, and when attending cultural events, showing the child’s document is not required.
