The story

27th International Festival of Magic of San Marino in Citta di San Marino/Dogana

The International Festival of Magic of San Marino reached its 27th edition March 13 to 15, 2026 at the Palazzo dei Congressi Kursaal in Città di San Marino, featuring the Trofeo Arzilli international stage-magic competition, a Close-Up Gala, street magic, and a School of Magic under the patronage of San Marino's Tourism and Education Secretariats.

For three days each March, the hilltop streets and grand halls of Città di San Marino give themselves over entirely to illusion.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Founded and directed by Mago Gabriel, the festival has grown into one of Europe's notable magic events, temporarily turning San Marino into what organizers describe as a world capital of magic for three days, drawing international illusionists to compete for the Trofeo Arzilli while past editions, including the 25th, have brought in television personalities such as Enzo Iacchetti to raise the event's public profile

02

The mystery stays covered

The program deliberately spans multiple registers of magic performance, from formal stage illusion in the Gran Gala della Magia to intimate Close-Up Gala card and sleight-of-hand work to informal street magic performed for passersby
