Magic Dove Magician of the Year (MD-MOTY)

Magic Dove's contest experience was being put to good use in 2018 for the Florida Magician of the Year Contest. Florida's most magical celebration of all times- The Florida Magician of the Year (FL-MOTY) Contest highlights Florida's most talented magicians. Magicians from across the state of Florida compete for the coveted title of Florida Magician of the Year.

This annual event brings amateur and professional magicians of all ages together for one unforgettable magical performance. The contest is open to all Florida magicians from across the entire state. However, only the finalists make it to the final competition.

Florida champions of magic come together for a friendly battle to earn the prestigious title of Florida Magician of the Year. The Florida Magician of the Year Contest is designed to preserve and promote the art of magic by highlighting magical talents performed by Florida magicians.

Three titles are awarded each year, starting with the junior division for ages 7-11, which awards the junior Florida Magician of the Year. The youth division covers ages 12-17, which leads to the title—Youth Florida Magician of the Year. The adult division leads to the title of Florida Magician of the Year.
Contest years 2018-2020 were held at the Historic Cocoa Village Playhouse.

The Historic Cocoa Village Playhouse is a magical venue and originally opened on August 18, 1924, as a silent movie house. On October 17, 1991, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. This state-of-the-art historic theater provides an impressive setting to showcase magical talents. The theater is located at 300 Brevard Avenue in Historic Cocoa Village, Florida, and seats approximately 600. The theater is truly a magical place and served as the perfect location for the Florida Magician of the Year Contest, but due to COVID-19, the contest moved to a virtual platform in 2021. Our goal is to continue our support for the performing art of magic.
