Here you’ll find important information regarding the actual guest list for the upcoming MagicCon.

The invited stars are without a doubt among the program highlights for fans. Despite careful planning and preparation (announcements are based on legally binding contracts), it is not always possible to welcome every previously announced guest at the MagicCon. There can be a variety of reasons for this (e.g. last-minute filming commitments, illness, financial necessities, etc.). As soon as such a change occurs, we will communicate it here on the Important Guest Information page.

With many years of experience (event organization since 1992), the MagicCon team is committed to delivering an unforgettable convention experience. In this regard, we would also like to draw your attention to point 2 of our General Terms and Conditions, which is part of the ticket purchase process. In return, we thank you for your trust and understanding.

This year once again, we’re taking you on a journey to Middle-earth! Covering around 28 square meters, an impressive diorama will bring the Morannon, the Black Gate, to life – the mighty fortress guarding the entrance to Mordor.

But this time, things won’t remain peaceful at the gates of the Dark Land: Aragorn and his army bravely stand against Sauron. What happens next? You’ll have to find out for yourselves – come by, take a close look, and experience Middle-earth on an impressive tabletop scale!

A Diorama of Epic Proportions

The scale of our project is truly something to behold: around 3,200 figures in 28 mm tabletop scale populate the scene. Approximately 2,200 of them have been extensively modified and individually customized. Added to this are around 140 kilograms of scenic materials, along with countless lovingly crafted details from our extensive collection of accessories.

A project of this scale could never be created by just one team. That’s why we would like to extend our special thanks to the many fellow hobbyists and companies who supported us with materials, expertise, and in countless other ways:

Kai Fuhrmann Figuren, Silberschmiede.de, Bit Smith, Mines and Dragon, Finnsland HDR Ebay Shop, Tabletop-Modellbau and Gerard Boom / Shifting Lands.

Our heartfelt thanks also go to the MagicCon organizing team, especially Melanie and Dirk, as well as the DtG and Andreas Kinder for their support. And, of course, to our friends Heike, Rebecca, Moka, Stefan, Thomas, Gabi, Marcel, Oliver, Sonia, and everyone else who helped make this project possible.

A very special greeting also goes to our Becky, who supported us right up to the very end and has since sailed west.

The Team Behind the Project

Thomas Förstmann, Louisa and Kai Fuhrmann, Dirk Helmes, Thomas Schmitt, Falco Küsters, Niklas Zeegers, Elias Pasch, Sonja Hamann, Katharina, Paul Herfen, Christina Gesse, Maik Warsinsky, Rene Ingenrieth, Silke Pape, Nadja Safat, Markus Wiekowski and sons, Jörg Cappel, Benjamin Kretschmann and Gerard Boom.

We are incredibly excited to present our new Middle-earth diorama to you at MagicCon 9 at the Maritim Hotel Bonn.

Come by, take a look at the Black Gate – and experience for yourselves what happens when Aragorn and his army challenge Sauron!

See you in Middle-earth!

And yet Geek! is once again facing a major challenge. Panini will not be continuing the magazine. It should be clear to everyone that this was a heavy blow for us at first, as we produce Geek! primarily out of a passion for the cause. It didn’t take a single day, however, for Henning, Björn and columnist Claudia Kern to meet up and look for a solution – and they found one.

Geek! will live on – exactly as you know it. The only difference? In future, the magazine will be published in colour by the ‘Farbe und Bunt’ publishing house under editor-in-chief Björn Sülter.

In 2027 we’ll be celebrating our 15th anniversary, and in 2029 our 100th issue. These are goals worth fighting for. That, and the joy of putting together an informative and entertaining magazine for you every two months – with heart and soul, passion and a whole lot of geek expertise.

At this year’s MagicCon 9, you’ll get to meet the editorial team on stage and at the ‘Verlag in Farbe und Bunt’ stand. There’ll also be free magazines and prizes to be won.

Following its successful debut at FedCon, the popular quiz is now heading into the next round at the MagicCon 9. Contestants can expect a wide-ranging mix of questions covering all areas of fantastical pop culture. Whether it’s fantasy worlds, mysterious stories, fantastical creatures, science fiction or the big and small secrets of the geek world – here, absolutely any question can become the decisive challenge.

Anyone who thinks they’re particularly well-versed in fantasy and the like is warmly invited to take up the challenge. Because in “Who Will Be the Supergeek?”, it’s not just specialist knowledge that counts, but also a good memory, a bit of nerve and perhaps that famous bit of luck.

“Who Will Be Crowned Supergeek?” is presented by Björn Sülter at the Hall Beethoven. The venue was already packed to the rafters at the premiere – so the stage is set for another exciting and entertaining round of quizzes at the MagicCon 9.

Who will be crowned Supergeek in the end?

If you want to join a group of singers on their journey to Middle Earth, then the RingChoir is just what you are looking for. Anyone who is willing to give in to the music is welcome at the workshop. You don’t need any prior knowledge, but have to mind the following info:

The choir practices are set every day during the con for two hours each day plus an obligatory stage rehearsal on Sunday morning at 8 am. If you want to be on stage with us during the closing ceremony (providing we’ll be part of it), you need to have attended at least two out of the three daily rehearsals plus the stage rehearsal. To get photos and autographs, you can briefly leave any time during the practices. If you would rather not be on stage, you are still very welcome to join the workshop. After all, it’s about the fun and the music.

Make sure you register via e-mail (chorworkshop@hotmail.de) until 3 days before the con starts so that we can prepare enough folders. The fee for the score will be 5 euros this year.

Sandra (Vala; organisation) and Kerstin-Anja (Ila; music) have been running the RingChoir at MagicCon and its predecessors RingCon and HobbitCon together since 2011. They are enthusiastic con-goers and have been so for many years and like to share their enthusiasm for (not only) Howard Shore’s film music with other connies. Especially because their “real lives in the outside world” can’t have that much to do with music, the RingChoir is the ideal place to indulge in their own hobby, and to drag other people along with them at the same time. As every year, Vala and Ila are looking forward to the exchange with you, whether in the choir, between the panels or in the evening on the dance floor.

Viola and Patrick will not only be at their own information stand after their panel but will also be there for you on every day of the convention.

Autograph and photo requests will, of course, be happily fulfilled.

About Spirit of the Highlands

Spirit of the Highlands, a small whiskey specialist from the Münsterland region, is offering several opportunities to take part in a whiskey tasting at the convention (October 2 and 3). In addition, the fine spirits can also be tasted and purchased at the booth on site.

For several years now, “Rose” and Dominik Wagner have been exploring the water of life, still learning new things themselves and looking forward to meeting lots of great people. At their tasting stand, they offer over three hundred open whiskies, rums, and liqueurs, all of which can be tasted in a glass on site (or as a small bottle to try at home). Some bottlings are also available for purchase by lovers of Scotland’s national drink.

Special requests are of course welcome. It is also possible to ask in advance if the two whisky connoisseurs can bring something special for you. “Rose” and Dominik Wagner from Spirit of the Highlands are looking forward to an unforgettable MagicCon event!
