Many conventions also hold competitions to judge who is best at a particular style, and give out awards on various aspects such as "Best sleight of hand", "Best card tricks", "Best mentalist", and "International Magician of the Year".

Scope

Some conventions are internationally known, and others are specific to a particular city or region, but still bring in attendees from around their particular region such as the "York Magic Festival" in York, England, which brings in performers from across the United Kingdom.
