Welcome to the Capital District's magic club. Members of our club include illusionists, close-up magicians, kids show magicians, magic collectors and magic enthusiasts. The purpose of our organization is to promote the art of magic by learning to perform it well, to preserve its history and to assemble collections of past magicians and paraphernalia. Our regular meetings are held on the second Tuesday of the month at the SW Pitts Hose Company of Latham, NY. We start at 7:30 pm. During the meetings, magic is performed, discussed and taught. Throughout the year, in collaboration with our friends from the International Brotherhood of Magicians, Ring # 186, we are treated to lectures and seminars from visiting professional magicians. Assembly #24 is one of the oldest Assembly's in the Society of American Magicians. It is named after Past President Jay A. Gorham. Jay was a Professor and Mathematics Chair at Hudson Valley Community College. He is an active magician and magic collector. After moving from this area to Arizona, Jay became the National President of the Society of American Magicians in 2004. | Roger Borgen impresses with a card trick at our February 2010 meeting.
