Magic Circle Staircase by Chris Mear from Wikimedia Commons
When moviegoers watched Now You See Me for the first time, every viewer was instantly enthralled by the idea of Joining a secret group of accomplished magicians like that of The Eye. Real life magicians, from the amateur to the master, will not be disappointed to learn that such an organization exists. The Magic Circle requires two years as an apprentice magician, after which one may apply to join the order, proving their worth.
For those less inclined to join The Magic Circle but still intrigued my magic, the group runs a museum that doubles as their headquarters. Displays include Houdini’s handcuffs, among other relics. Magic shows are presented on a large stage in one part of the museum.
