The Magic Circle has many London table magicians amongst its members. The institution is very careful about those it allows to join and on most evenings only members are allowed to enter the building.
Many London table magician ask to join and are only admitted through rigorous examination. If you apply to the club you will be interviewed by a senior member before performing at one of the societies evenings.
Although London wedding magician make up much of the membership anybody can join and there are magicians from all over the world. Membership is in some ways similar to a kite mark and poor performance reflects badly on the Circle and its standing, so examination is taken very seriously.
You could describe the performance as an exam but it is really a demonstration of the person’s skill and performance ability. A number of members of the inner magic circle will assess the presentation and decide if it comes up to the required standard.
Once you have joined you start as a member and then are elevated to Associate of the Inner Magic Circle through a further examination.
As the society meets in the capital there are many London table magicians at the weekly meetings. However those from abroad do make the effort to attend when they can. The meetings are taken up with lectures and workshops as well as performance evenings. There is also the AGM and competitions.
So if you are a London table magician or a UK magician or even international there is a place for you at the HQ in Euston.
It has been around for over one hundred years and due to lottery money and donations has a wonderful home in inner London. It has a state of the art theatre, bar and meeting rooms which have been wonderfully decorated.
There is also memorabilia throughout the building, posters and paintings. You can come and see it during the week if you book a ticket to one of the shows. The museum holds some of the world’s most interesting artefacts.
