Why Join?
Each of our monthly meetings features unique programming such as lectures and talks by well-known magicians, member shows, magic history events, an annual magic auction, and much more. Guest magicians who have lectured and spoken at our recent meetings inlude David Copperfield, Mac King, Jonathan Pendragon, Chris Capehart, Jen Kramer, to name just a few. We also present a monthly hands on workshop held virtually. Each spring we produce The Salute to Magic show, which over 112 years has featured performances by many of the world’s greatest magicians. Members also receive our monthly newsletter, The Spellbinder and have access to a growing library of magic videos. However the biggest benefit is the camaraderie that develops among a supportive network of fellow members who all join together over their shared love of the conjuring arts.
PA1’s membership dues are $40 annually and you must also be a member of the national Society of American Magicians, which provides a separate suite of additional benefits.
