How the pledge works

Crowdfunding rules, magician-sized

Pledge your seat

Pick a ticket and save your card through Stripe. Nothing is charged now.

We hit 65 by Dec 31, 2026

Wondercon 2027 is confirmed. Your card is charged on January 15, 2027, after the holidays, or in four monthly instalments from that date. Pledging stays open until December 31, or until all 90 seats are gone.

Or we don't

If we're still short on December 31, the 2027 edition doesn't happen. No card is charged and nothing is owed.

More options

Every ticket can include an extra donation to Butterfly Wondercon; add it in the pledge form. Artist workshops are €99 each, or bundled in All-In and VIP. Thursday's all-day Conjuring Intensive is always booked separately at €299. Every full registration counts as one card toward the 65, including scholarship seats. The room holds 90 each day: 80 full-convention seats (70 for Regular, Non-Participation and Scholarship tickets, with 3 scholarship seats in total, plus 5 All-In and 5 VIP) and 10 one-day places, for Friday and for Saturday separately. Once the 70 are gone, each further full registration takes one Friday and one Saturday place.

Coming from outside Europe? All prices already include VAT, so there is nothing extra to pay on top.

Workshops · 20 seats each · prices in EUR

Learn it with your hands

Four small workshops and one all-day Intensive Course, each capped at 20 people. The four artist workshops are add-ons to a convention ticket: 10 seats in each are kept for All-In and VIP, who get them included, and 10 are open to everyone else. Thursday's Conjuring Intensive is always booked on its own, and it's the one workshop you can book without a convention ticket.

What €199 gets you

Three days with the artists, not a hall of strangers

A three-day convention in the same format as 2026. Wondercon is small on purpose: one stage, at most 90 people who care about the theory behind the tricks, and time to jam with the people whose books you've read.

WorkshopsSmall hands-on sessions with the artists, 20 seats each, booked on top of your ticket or bundled in All-In. Thursday, October 7 is a full-day Conjuring Intensive with Tom Stone, Ondřej Pšenička and Nikola Arkane.

Questions

Before you pledge

What happens if we don't reach 65?

The pledge stays open until December 31, so there's time to give a seat as a holiday gift. If fewer than 65 people have pledged by then, the 2027 edition is called off and no card is charged.

Can I change my mind?

Yes. Before your card is charged, email eshop@butterflymagicstore.com and we'll cancel your pledge. After that, you can cancel with a full refund until the end of May 2027. From June 2027 your ticket is non-refundable, but you can transfer it to anyone else.

When and how do I pay?

When you pledge, Stripe saves your card; nothing is charged. If 65 people pledge by December 31, 2026, Wondercon 2027 is confirmed and we charge your card on January 15, 2027, after the holidays. Regular and All-In tickets can also be paid in four monthly instalments on January 15, February 15, March 15 and April 15. If we fall short, your card is never charged.

What is the Non-Participation seat?

A reserved seat in the back row and our promise that nobody will call you up on stage. Watch, listen and take notes in peace.

What happens once we pass 65?

The convention is confirmed and pledges keep counting until December 31, or until all 90 seats are taken. Pledging early is the surest way to get the ticket you want.

What is the VIP dinner?

On Saturday at 22:00, after the evening show, VIP ticket holders sit down to a private dinner with the 2027 artists. No performances, no stage: just dinner and conversation. Nobody else at the convention gets this time with the artists.

What is the VIP tier?

Our top ticket, limited to 5 people. It includes the full convention, all four artist workshops, the private VIP dinner with the artists, a front-row seat at every session and some super special extra swag in your swag bag. Above all, it helps fund Wondercon into the future. Thursday's Conjuring Intensive is booked separately.

What is a scholarship seat?

A full registration you pay for that we award to a young, talented magician who couldn't otherwise afford the ticket. Buy one on its own, or add one or more to your own pledge in the form.

Can I give more than the ticket price?

Yes. Every pledge has an optional donation field. Any extra amount goes to Butterfly Wondercon to enhance the experience and benefits for every attendee.

Can I book a workshop without a convention ticket?

Only Thursday's Conjuring Intensive: choose "No convention ticket" in the pledge form. The four artist workshops are add-ons to a convention ticket, so pick your ticket first and tick the workshops you want in the same pledge, or add them later.

I've already pledged. Can I add workshops later?

Yes, any time while seats last. In the pledge form choose "Already pledged · add workshops", use the same email as your first pledge and tick the workshops. Your ticket pledge stays exactly as it is. You save a card again (it can be the same one): until January 15 nothing is charged, and the workshops are charged together with your ticket. After that, you pay for them when you book.

Why are one-day tickets limited?

The room holds 90 people each day: 80 full-convention seats (70 Regular, including Non-Participation and Scholarship, plus 5 All-In and 5 VIP) and 10 one-day places, for Friday and for Saturday separately. Once the 70 Regular seats are gone, each extra registration takes one Friday and one Saturday place.

What do one-day guests get in the swag bag?

The convention deck. Sponsor gifts go to full-ticket holders.

I live outside Europe. Do I pay VAT on top?

No. Every price on this page already includes VAT, so what you see is what you pay.

Can I pledge a seat as a gift?

Yes. Pledge in your own name and add the guest's name in the message field.

Who is on the 2027 lineup?

Tom Stone, Nikola Arkane, Mortenn Christiansen, Pit Hartling and Mystery Magician, with Víctor Piña teaching Friday morning's workshop. The draft schedule is above; it shows who teaches every workshop, lecture and show. Everyone who pledges hears first about any changes.
