The Magic Circle has been called the most exclusive
club in the world. Founded in 1905 by a small group
of amateur and professional magicians, David Devant was elected
the first President and was succeeded by Nevil Maskelyne the
following year. The club's early meetings took place
in St George's Hall, Langham Place where Maskelyne and Devant
delighted audiences with magic shows for many years.
Since then The Magic Circle has held meetings in a variety
of venues including clubs, office buildings and theatres before
moving to permanent headquarters close to Euston Station in
1998.
The Magic Circle Headquarters has been widely acclaimed as
the finest magic headquarters in the world. The building
houses a fully equipped purpose built theatre, the Devant
Room featuring priceless magical memorabilia, a clubroom and
bar, museums showcasing one of the largest magic collections
in Europe and libraries that
house thousands of books about magicians, magic tricks and
magic history.
