The sitting President awards this swanky title annually to members for outstanding achievement in magic. After that, the title of MIMC or Member of the Inner Magic Circle is still up for grabs. This can gain you access to the first tier of membership: Apprentice level.Īn examination date will then be set up at which time the Apprentice member performs to an audience of members and (hidden) judges whose score determines whether the candidate has been successful.Īfter you are a member (MMC or Member of The Magic Circle) you can take a further exam to become an AIMC or Associate of the Inner Magic Circle. Stage magic has evolved magnificently over the years, taking on more elaborate performances and tricks to delight. Magic has astounded and entertained us for many centuries, and magic tricks have been performed since ancient times. After the nomination, you will have an interview to confirm you are capable of presenting magic competently for the interviewer. Cambridge Magician Richard Young is a member of The Magic Circle and an award winning Close-Up and Table Magician. If you want to become a Magic Circle magician, you first need to be nominated by two current members who have known you for two years. This has led to divisive reactions in the Magic Circle magician community. On this day in 1905, twenty three magicians met at Pinolis restaurant in Londons Wardour Street and formed The Magic Circle. Incidentally, Penn & Teller are not Magic Circle members due to the fact they reveal magic secrets in their shows. In 1935 Magic Circle member and first president David Devant was temporarily expelled for revealing some of his own magic in The Windsor Magazine. The Rules of The Magic Circle (1925) photo above explain the expulsion guidelines for spilling the proverbial magic beans. Revealing magic secrets remains a harshly-penalised activity for the club. It still is on the club’s logo to this day. Despite the correct translation of the motto being known in circles within The Circle, the false translation has so far prevailed. Still being recognised as Caesar, came the phrase indocilis privata loqui which actually means ‘not skilled at speaking of commonplace things’. In a 2019 interview on The Magician’s Podcast, Teller explained (yes, Teller really can talk) that the phrase derives from a description of Julius Caesar trying to go in disguise amongst the common people – but not quite able to pull it off undetected. Scholars, including the silent shorter half of the double act Penn & Teller who was once a Latin teacher, have corrected the myth about the meaning of the motto. As the tale goes, it means ‘Not apt to disclose secrets.’ Generations of magicians have told each other and their audiences that it’s a posh Latin way of saying the popular phrase ‘a magician never reveals their secrets.’ The only problem is, it doesn’t actually mean that… But almost everyone who tells you what it means is wrong. Indocilis privata loqui is the latin motto of The Magic Circle. My announcement was met with the unanimous support of Council.What does the club’s motto ‘indocilis privata loqui’ mean?Īn impressively well-dispersed piece of misinformation has to do with the matter of Magic Circle secrets themselves. The president, Jack Delvin, wrote, "As a measure of The Magic Circle's gratitude for your unstinting work, both as a performer and administrator, it gives me great pleasure in inform you that I have raised you to the degree of:- Member of The Inner Magic with Gold Star.

This is the very highest degree within The Magic Circle and can only be awarded by The President himself. Fictional worlds absorb our attention and let us forget what is real and what is not. The Magic Circle highlights that all games are ultimately constructed. Becoming a member of The Magic Circle gives the public a guarantee of excellence. The magic Circle in Game and Play theory is to step inside a concrete or metaphorical circle where special rules apply. On November 7th 2013 Matthew became a Member of The Inner Magic Circle, with Gold Star. There really isnt any secret to it, but it will take some commitment from you.
