Our Values:

MISSION STATEMENT

Our mission is to create a platform where women present, perform, share knowledge, and elevate the craft of magic — while dismantling the barriers that have historically limited their reach and visibility within the community.

OUR VISION

Mystify Magic Festival puts magicians, creatives, live entertainers, and variety artists from around the world in the same room.  


This creatively immersive three-day experience is centered around education and connection, placing women and underrepresented groups at the forefront.


This groundbreaking event welcomes anyone and everyone who is eager to be part of the exciting future of women in magic.

ORGANIZATION VALUES

We embrace mistakes as a natural part of growth — it is always okay to stumble. What we hold ourselves to is intentionality and care in our work; carelessness is not in our standard.

We recognize that for many, Mystify may be their first introduction to professional entertainment arts. We carry that responsibility with pride, showing up with dignity, respect, and an awareness of the lasting power of a first impression.

We pledge to foster a culture of professionalism and uplift. Negative energy, gossip, and disparaging talk about our peers and community have no place among our crew.
