The Fructuós Canonge International Magic Contest is an annual international competition for stage magicians held in Barcelona (Catalonia, Spain) as part of the Vila Màgica International Magic Festival. The contest honours the Catalan magician Fructuós Canonge (1824–1890), born in Montbrió del Camp.

This year 2026, we continue with the 2nd edition thanks to the collaboration with the Ajuntament de Barcelona, the Ajuntament de Montbrió del Camp & the International Federation of Magic Societies (FISM).

This is a contest open to both professionals & amateurs of 18 years old or more, and that counts with the collaboration and qualification of the FISM.

This year 2026, it will take place on October 8th at Sala Golem’S, and the deadline for registration is: September 15th 2026.
