Circle
of Magicians |
A brand new
magical society has been formed in the
It is a magical
society with a DIFFERENCE and these are the reasons why:
1. There will be NO COMMITTEE, just Officers who are elected annually by the members.
2. There is NO JOINING FEE, just an annual subscription of £12.00 per year.
3. There are NO RULES, decisions will be made by the members.
4. There is NO AUDITION or INTERVIEW, prospective members will simply be asked if they are seriously interested in magic.
5. If your wife/girlfriend/partner is seriously interested in magic then they too are very welcome on payment of the £10.00 per year subscription.
6. Meetings will be once per month usually on the third Tuesday of the month.

In the past months we have had FOUR MINI LECTURES (four experienced magicians
each presented a half hour lecture on different subjects), two Jumbo Magical
Auctions which were tremendously successful, Allied Arts Night (which covered
Fireating, Hypnosis, Juggling, Escapology and Punch and Judy) and Four Dealer
Demonstration Night, wherein four prominent Magic Dealers all demonstrated
their wares on the same night. Many, many more exciting and different nights have
been organised. See itinerary at the bottom of this page. The

All meetings will take
place at our fabulous, luxury meeting rooms at the Salford Masonic Hall,
(Hemsley House), 41, The Crescent,
Due to our extensive contacts in the magical world we can promise you a very
strong programme of Lectures and shows.
Although the official programme will begin at 8.00p.m., every meeting will
commence with a fun trick session at 7.30p.m.
This will be organised by a host and will allow members to perform their
favourite or non-favourite trick or routine. If you just want to watch that's
fine too, there's no pressure to perform.
9. A magic magazine is being produced
and is free to all members.
10. If you already belong to another magical society and wish to remain a member of that society that's fine. We are not in the business of competing with other societies we are interested in just doing our own thing and ENJOYING IT!
11. Let us assure you this is NOT a '10
minute wonder' or a 'flash in the pan'. The
12. A WEBSITE has been designed www.taurusmagic.net and is now operational.

have you got to lose ? This really is a golden opportunity to create and mould
a new magical society into the kind of organisation YOU WANT. There are NO
CLIQUES, NO SNOBS, NO EGO MERCHANTS, NO DICTATORS and NO COMMITTEES what the
MEMBERS WANT ...... THE MEMBERS GET.
Further details of the
programme will be given to you when you join.
