All I.B.M. Member teens who are between the ages of 12-21, who are I.B.M. Members, and who have a genuine interest in magic are welcome to apply to attend the Lance Burton Teen Seminar. To ensure attendance, please submit this form.
The Lance Burton Teen Seminar is the world's premier magic education event for teenagers. Founded over 25 years ago by Master Magician Lance Burton, this program has grown and flourished through a long partnership with the McBride Magic & Mystery School, and recently the leadership has been turned over to Gabriella Lester.
The seminar is free to attend, and it is sponsored by the Endowment & Development Fund of the International Brotherhood of Magicians. In July 2026, it will be held in St. Louis, MO on July 20-22, with an additional hour each day during the I.B.M. Convention.
Attendees to this limited, exclusive event will spend quality time learning from world-class magicians. Alongside Lance Burton, the online seminar will be taught by Gabriella Lester and Geno Ploeger. Special guests will also drop in!
Please submit your application as soon as possible, as space is limited. We are excited to be able to offer this amazing opportunity to our teens who are the future of magic.
The first forty I.B.M. Members under 18 years old to register for the 2026 I.B.M. Convention will also get to attend the convention for FREE!
