Maker Magic events have been created to share knowledge, and inspire others to create wonderful new geocaches. This event will highlight good quality cache creation.
Everyone logging an 'Attended' on the event will earn the special 'Maker Magic 2026' souvenir.
This event will be a relaxed opportunity for geocachers to meet, chat, and share ideas about building and hiding great caches. I will be bringing along a selection of cache containers and examples to display, demonstrating different ideas and styles of hides.
Real magic also comes from the community. If you have created an interesting container, gadget cache, or clever idea, please feel free to bring it along to share with others. Seeing what fellow geocachers have created is often the best inspiration of all.
