Ft. Collins PrestoDigitators
On Saturday, June 21, 1980, a small group of magicians met in the Forum Room at the Square in Fort Collins, Colorado, to discuss the possibility of organizing a local magic club. Several of the magicians present were members of the I.B.M. International Brotherhood of Magicians. Read more about them on their website.
Colorado Springs Pikes Peak Prestidigitators
The Pikes Peak Prestidigitators Magic Club has been serving Colorado Springs and the Pikes Peak Region since we became a Chartered Assembly of the Society of American Magicians on March 10, 1979. Our mission is to unite those who take a serious interest in the art of magic, be they amateur, hobbyist or full or part-time professionals, and to facilitate the exchange of information and ideas that will help members to experience personal growth in techniques and showmanship, and through their collective efforts, to elevate the Art of Magic to a position of eminence in the performing arts.
London Children’s Magician Christopher Howell
Christopher Howell’s children’s magician act is something special on the menu of children’s party entertainment options in London for children ages 4-7, available for booking in your home or party venue. Children’s magicians are often known for their rude jokes and encouraging children to go crazy as they bounce off the walls of your home; instead (perhaps by magic) this show keeps kids totally captivated and entertained by engaging their vibrant imaginations.

Society of American Magicians
The Society of American Magicians, founded on May 10, 1902 in Martinka’s famous magic shop in New York City, New York, is the oldest and most prestigious magical society in the world. For over a century it has promoted the ideals shared by Kellar, Houdini, Thurston and over 30,000 others world-wide who have held membership in the society. These ideals include the elevation of the Art of Magic, the promotion of harmony among magicians, and the opposition of the unnecessary public exposure of magical effects.
The S.A.M. offers the opportunity to unite and associate with leaders in the World of Magic – not only professionals, but with amateurs, manufacturers, magic dealers, book authors and magic collectors. Through its monthly publications, annual conventions, and with over 250 “Assemblies” throughout the world, the S.A.M. provides the necessary forum for the advancement of magic through discussions, lectures, research, performances, and exchange of magic secrets within the magic community. To promote these endeavors the S.A.M. presents awards and fellowships in recognition of outstanding achievement in the Art of Magic.
If you have a serious interest in the Art of Magic then you, too, can follow in the footsteps of Harry Houdini, Harry Blackstone, Jr., Siegfried & Roy, Lance Burton and David Copperfield by joining the most prestigious magical organization in the world – The Society of American Magicians.
Mile High Magicians
The Mile High Magicians Society is a Denver-based association of magical enthusiasts dedicated to enjoying, appreciating and advancing the art of magic. Our interests are as diverse as the art of magic itself. We are amateurs, hobbyists, professionals, performers, spectators, collectors, teachers and students. We always consider ourselves students because magic is a constantly evolving art.
We love the boldness of a new illusion and we smile at the subtleties produced by manipulating a deck of cards. We marvel at the years of practice required to demonstrate flawless sleight-of-hand techniques. Watching a skilled magician perform overwhelms us with emotion. We laugh, we rejoice, we applaud. We are surprised, delighted, captivated and enthralled. We see wonder through the eyes of a child — a childhood we’ve never left.
Our performing members share their magic in many ways: From entertaining family, friends and neighbors, to street performances, to children’s birthday parties, at restaurants and banquets, at corporate events and on the speaking platform.
We meet monthly (and frequently more often through lectures, events, etc.) and regularly arrange for first-rate performers from around the world to perform and lecture for our members. We are a local chapter of both international magic organizations, the International Brotherhood of Magicians (IBM) and the Society of American Magicians (SAM).
If you appreciate the art of magic, share our sense of fun, excitement and wonder (and can keep a few secrets!), we would welcome you as a guest or as a new member of our organization. Each of us started in that very same way.
Reinke Brothers (Magic “shop”)
The Reinkes’ Story
Back in 1968 Greg and Chris Reinke started exploring the “Haunted Attraction” business at the local fishing hole. Their father didn’t like fishing so the boys were on their own. After a full day of floating worms Greg and Chris began their glorious career by hooking their first business asset, a shopping cart. After a rigorous cleaning of their new equipment the boys set up shop, in the basement of their parent’s home. Borrowing a plaster skull from their older brother Don, and their father’s footlocker for a coffin they began to construct the walls, blankets hung from the rafters of their new empire.
Halloween was fast approaching and they were anticipating a great season. Soon their first customers approached. Ding-dong the doorbell rung and the first of their twenty-six clients of the evening were paying their penny and descending the stairs to the basement. “Climb in and be prepared to be scared” Greg would exclaim. Pushing the cart through the maze of blankets, props and scenes Greg would pull strings to cause movement in each room to terrorize their clients. Strings were cutting edge of animatronics at the time. As Chris fed the extension cord, which ran the electrical grid for the “Mansion of Terror”, providing power to the strobe light mounted on the front of the cart (It was a good effect).
Soon the woman who vaulted the brothers into the limelight came to the door. Not being able to climb into the cart she began her walking experience and with amazement she asked, “What would you charge to build this Haunted House for Saint Mary’s Carnival?” Greg thought quickly and said “Fifty dollars.” The boy’s career had begun!
The moral of the story is, teach your kids to fish!
