Diary Magic of Africa – Austria

8 September 2026
The Africa team is currently getting ready in Cape Town to board their flight to Austria. Excited and full of anticipation, they are setting off on the long journey that will take them via Istanbul, Turkey, to Salzburg. Their families came with them to the airport to see them off!

I (Hanno) will be waiting for them there, and from Salzburg we will travel on to Bad Aussee, where our congress begins the following day.
At the moment, I am preparing the congress office and doing the final press interviews. Television crews have also announced that they will be coming to the show to conduct interviews.
I’m already completely in the South African spirit!

It is going to be an exciting and eventful day for our friends from Cape Town. Late tonight, they will already have their first rehearsal with our technical team, who are currently installing all the equipment in the venue.
Young magicians from Switzerland, Belgium, Spain and Germany are already having their first rehearsals on stage. Meanwhile, the team is setting up the congress office and the last remaining tickets are being sold.
