The Inner Magic Circle London (with Gold Star)

A prospective member joins The Magic Circle as an associate and only gains full membership through examination. Through further examination, members can obtain higher degrees. However, membership of the Inner Magic Circle is by the call of the president only and is the highest level available. As membership is worldwide and only a limited number receive this high accolade, TJ is one of the few working in the world today. The Gold Star is awarded to those who are deemed to have the highest performance ability.

TJ is now an examiner for The Magic Circle London

The Magic Circle invited me to become an examiner. TJ accepted. The Circle still called upon him when he is in London. He hopes new members feel that he is encouraging and helpful.

TJ has always taken an interest in the entrance procedure. The Magic Circle doesn’t just let people in, although they welcome new members they do need to prove that they are of a professional standard.

When a prospective member asks to join they attend an interview. If successful, the Magic Circle invites them to perform at the headquarters. Three examiners watch and allocate marks for different aspects of their performance and if the marks are high enough they can join the club. TJ is looking forward to meeting these new members some of which will be the future of magic.

TJ represented The Magic Circle London during its centenary celebrations in the States in 2005
