Sleighted Convention

At Sleighted, we are passionate about elevating the art of magic and helping magicians reach their full potential. When we set out to plan our magic cruise, we knew we wanted to create something truly unique and special.

First, we wanted to hold the convention on a cruise ship, because what could be more magical than sailing the seas while learning from and performing with some of the world’s best magicians?

Second, we wanted to provide a program that would be both informative and entertaining. We have assembled a team of top-notch magicians who will share their knowledge and expertise on a wide range of topics, from new trick ideas to the business side of magic.

Whether you are a full-time magician or a passionate hobbyist, this convention is the perfect opportunity to learn, network, and have some fun. So come join us on this journey of discovery, and let’s elevate the art of magic together!

People

Blake Vogt

Magician

If you have seen any of Blake’s work you know how ridiculously innovative and fresh all his creations feel.  He is not only a magician’s magician but a worker’s worker!  From all the incredible creations he has consulted on for others to his own accomplishments we knew we had to have him on this cruise!

Rúbi Férez

Also Magician

We first saw and jammed with Rubi at 4F.  From his “Rúbi Cup” to his yogurt routine, his spanish magic chaotic style instantly draws you in.  The more you watch you realize just how truly original and creative every one of his creations are.  Also, he is a killer hang!

Kyle Littleton

Also Also Magician

Kyle has a unique approach to how he formulates his routines. Besides being a magician he is a stand-up comic. He first tests out his routines (without the magic) and after the material can stand alone, adds in the magic.  We first saw him when he MC’ed a gala magic show and he was the absolute highlight of the show. His 5 minute bits between acts stole the show having the audience in stitches with his unique blend of comedy and magic. The comedy perfectly balanced the magic and vice versa. And every time he left the stage, the audience wanted more. Kyle is a genuine joy to be around and we’re just looking forward to forcing him to hangout with us!

John Michael Hinton

Also als— you get the point.

John Michael Hinton does close-up magic for 1000+ people at a time. I’ve seen his show a few times, and I always marvel at the fact that he can do classic close-up tricks on a large stage while keeping the audience completely engaged. You can learn so much about show structure just by watching John perform. He has more experience performing on stages than most working magicians AND he fully supports his family of 5 on a working magicians salary. There is no escaping it either, if you meet John, he will be your friend!

Erik Casey

Idiot, but also a magician

Erik once bought way too many marked decks and went around to every bar he might visit in his home town of Jacksonville FL and asked them to keep it behind the bar. That way when he is out and someone asks him to do some magic he can say, “oh I don’t have anything on me…ask the bar if they have a deck of cards.” Then using a “borrowed” marked deck he can proceed to perform miracles.  His desire and passion to create impromptu moments of magic will inspire you to go the extra mile in your own performing!

SLEIGHTED CONSULTING

Team of Magicians

Cruise Ports

Amber Cove:

The Amber Cove Cruise Center is still pretty new—and it’s a pretty big deal, to boot. When it opened along the Dominican Republic’s northern “Amber Coast,” it re-opened the area for cruise ships to visit. (The last ship to call at nearby Puerto Plata was almost thirty years ago.) Your ship will sail into the Bay of Maimon, a short distance to the north-west from Puerto Plata.
