It marks the 63rd annual convention of the Brotherhood - the largest circle of magicians in Britain - which was last held in Llandudno 16 years ago.
Among the 2,000 delegates are professionals, amateurs and those who do it purely for fun.
New-found techniques
The main focus of the event - which is held behind closed doors - will be on sharing new-found techniques, ideas and trade secrets.
Assistant secretary of the International Brotherhood of Magicians and one of the organisers of the Llandudno conference Tony Shirley, said he was pleased with the number of magicians attending the conference.
"We're very excited to be back in Llandudno with such a good registration," he said.
"We've got members coming from all over the world - Australia, America, Switzerland, Italy and one act from Russia."
