Surely the highest honour for which every magician strives is to become a member of The Magic Circle, but it is not as simple as just applying for your membership and paying your subscription.

 
The easy part is that you have to be over eighteen years of age, after that you have to have two existing members of the society (known as referees) put your name forward to the committee for consideration.You then have to perform a magic act in front of the committee which must show a required level of skill.

If you apply as a student of magic a lower level of skill will be accepted if you can show that you have the potential to take your art to the required standard with regular practice. After that a meeting will be held by the committee to decide on whether you will be accepted.

The Magic Circle was founded back in 1905 in London by a group of like minded gentlemen with a shared interest in magic, they all knew some magic but they couldn’t figure out how to do each others tricks so they agreed that they would show each other their tricks as long as what they learned was kept a secret, The Magic Circle was born.

Back then the society consisted of only about 23 members who met regularly in the upstairs room of a London pub called The Green Man.

Today The Magic Circle has members spanning the world in over forty different countries with magicians everywhere entertaining and baffling people with everything from card tricks and coin tricks to unbelievable illusions such as making the statue of liberty disappear, which by the way is an illusion I can perform myself but I am sorry to disappoint you that I am not about to break the code of The Magic Circle.

The Headquarters of The Magic Circle is in central London. In it you will find a museum, a dining room, a bar, a theatre, and a library with generously stocked book shelves.

The Magic Circle just like any other recognized organization has its own motto, “Indocilis privata loquin” which is Latin, and when roughly translated reads as “not apt to disclose secrets”. Members take the vow to honour this motto and to this day anyone breaking is instantly expelled from the society in shame.

If you are fortunate enough to be accepted into The Magic Circle you will have the honour of being able to place the letters MMC (member of the magic circle) after your name and if you wish to take things even further you may want to take advanced exams in the subject of magic.Successful applicants gain a degree in the subject which brings with it the reward of being able to place the letters MIMC (member of the inner magic circle) after their name.

I hope you make it into The Magic Circle one day, good luck and remember that constant regular practice will eventually get you to where you want to be, just like magic, and always keep looking for that next trick or it will vanish in a puff of smoke.
