Magician Magic TJ Explains Some of His Magical Art

The Magic Circle was founded in 1905 in a small restaurant in Soho. Now it boasts over fifteen hundred members worldwide including some of the biggest names in the industry.

It is true that some of the younger well known UKMagician do shy away from the organisation on the basis that it has a reputation for being old fashioned and out of date. This I think is a shame as many great modern innovators are amongst those who meet on a Monday evening to share ideas and further the art of magic.

The Magic Circle hasn’t always helped its self in the past. Not allowing women to become members until the early nineties and appearing over formal for the modern era. However it now has a state of the art theatre and meeting rooms as well as a well stocked bar and museum right in the heart of London.

Although many members are close up magicians, stage craft and the allied arts are also discussed regularly encouraging learning for stage magicians and comedy UK Magician alike.

Much mystery has surrounded the society which on occasions has added to its prestige but it is very accessible to the public and holds many functions for which tickets can be bought. Regular theatre shows are put on as well as tours of the building and museum. So those who have an interest can see the wonderful job which has been done to make the building a worthy home.
