The purpose of the Academy of Magical Arts is to encourage and promote public interest in the art of magic with particular emphasis on preserving its history as an art form, entertainment medium, and hobby. Magicians and magic enthusiasts around the world have come to know the Castle as the ultimate magic clubhouse and home of the Academy of Magical Arts, Inc.

When you become a member, the Magic Castle becomes your Magic Castle. You and your guests can enjoy the unique talents of the Magic Castle’s world-class performers and dine in Victorian Splendor. Members also enjoy a special Friday lunch, as well as Saturday and Sunday brunches which are a treat for the whole family. Membership also brings admission to a wide variety of members-only events.

As a member, you also have the privilege of issuing guest passes to your friends and business associates so they too can visit the Castle. Magician members can also take advantage of the Magic Castle’s extensive library of books, videos, DVDs, and periodicals exploring the world of the magical arts, and can attend lectures presented by some of the world’s foremost experts in the world of magic.

If you’ve never visited the Magic Castle (the clubhouse of the AMA) before, we encourage you to reach out to your social and business contacts to see if you might know a current member who would be willing to issue you an invitation!

The Academy of Magical Arts, Inc. has been and will continue to be the premier organization in the world dedicated to the art of magic. We are an organization that encourages fellowship, promotes the art, and maintains the highest ethical standards in our actions.
