Resident Magician Membership RequirementsMagician Membership applicants will be interviewed by the Membership Committee. During this in-person meeting, you will be asked a series of questions to determine your level of knowledge and interest in magic. If, as most, you are actively practicing magic as a career or as a hobby, you will be asked to demonstrate some magic effects before the Committee. You should be ready to provide a ten-minute performance. At the discretion of the Committee, performers in magic’s Allied Arts (such as juggling or ventriloquism) may also be considered for membership, again via an interview and a short performance.Magic assistants with legitimate experience should be prepared to discuss that background, demonstrate a viable understanding of magic they have performed, and provide video and/or other records of prior work for review by the Committee. If you wish to apply for Magi-cian Membership as a non-performer, the interview will expand to include area(s) of specialization. Magic histo-rians and/or collectors should be prepared to talk about their studies, and provide examples. Magic inventors or prop builders should be able to explain the nature of their expertise, and bring samples of such work.
Auditions are typically held on the first Monday of each month at the Magic Castle usually beginning at 7:00pm. If you wish to audition, you must RSVP with the Membership Department beforehand. With you to the audition, you will be required to bring a Magician membership application, completely filled out, along with your payment of dues. Both of which will be taken upon your acceptance as a Magician Member.
Non-Resident Magician Membership RequirementsNon-Resident Magician applicants must reside outside of a 60 mile radius of our location. Non-Resident Magi-cian applicants must have a background in magic. To be considered for Non-Resident Magician membership with the AMA, the applicant is required to provide the Membership Committee with a separate one page biography listing as much background information as possible regarding their life in magic. Any videos (online video links, DVDs, etc.) included may expedite the approval process. You may submit a Magician membership application along with the required information via mail, fax, or email to [email protected]. Please note that this approval process may take as long as a month to complete. If you are accepted as a Non-Resident Magician member of the AMA, you will be notified by our Membership Department promptly.
