Chicago Assembly No. 3 of the Society of American Magicians (S.A.M.) was, as the name implies, only the third regional club to be established by the S.A.M., whose assemblies now number in the hundreds. It was also the first club established by the then-new National President of the organization, Harry Houdini. In 1919, Houdini signed Assembly Number Three's charter into existence. Today, over one-hundred years later, that charter and this club continue to provide Chicago magicians with a connection to each other and to our past.
NEXT MEETING: **Special Date and Location** Thursday, February 23, 2023 Ricky Jay Collection Viewing @ Potter Auctions 5-8:30 PM |
Our original Charter, signed in 1919 by then-National President Harry Houdini. Among the founding members listed is Werner Dornfield.
