MagicCon: Chicago Art of Magic
MagicCon: Chicago Art of Magic
This February at MagicCon: Chicago, we have 50 artists from Magic and D&D joining us in the Art of Magic and they’re ready to get cards and merch adorned with your favorite artwork signed! But, before you head to the Windy City, we’ve got some important tips and info for you to ensure that you have a fun show.
First, check out which artists will be attending MagicCon in our Artist Directory. With fifty artists, plan out your schedule, and prioritize which artists you want to meet. There will be plenty of artwork to choose from including playmats, prints, tokens and more, so doing a little research ahead of time will help your experience be smooth!
When you’re at the show, and while you’re waiting in line to get a beautiful signature, have your cards pulled and ready before you're standing in front at the table! It’ll make getting your cards signed a smooth experience!
Lastly, be sure to have a secure way to bring your newly signed goods home with you. Traveling with posters and or cards can be tricky, so get some toploaders, poster tubes, or bags to hold your artwork safely. Nothing’s worse than getting home and finding something that got bent during a bumpy road trip or flight back!
