Your modest dues (we have kept them low for years) help us:
-Present monthly events including lectures, contests, and when in-person meetings return, our auction/flea market, two dinner shows, renting a meeting hall with a fully equipped stage, increasing our fantastic library, all while providing a forum for local magicians to meet and share.
It isn’t just about paying your dues but helping build our club.
We want you to help keep the club relevant and contemporary, both learning from past and present trends while looking to the future.
We look forward to all meeting in person in 2024 at our beautiful new location in the Oakland Scottish Rite Center.
