      Histórico

      The York Society of Magicians was founded in 1945 by the then Lord Mayor of York, Harold Chapman de Bourg. De Bourg was a magician and wanted to establish a magic society in York to meet likeminded people. De Bourg invited other amateur magicians to Mansion House, where the inaugural meeting of the Society was held on 8th March 1945. At that first meeting the York Society of Magicians was established.

      The society’s first headquarters were in the Rechabite building and then afterwards Middleton House in Monkgate.

      The society started its ‘Night of Magic’ shows at the Joseph Rowntree Theatre in 1951, which were held annually until 1987. The Society’s other activities include annual dinners, and monthly meetings where members discuss magic and share magic tricks.

      The society includes amateur magicians, hobbyists and professionals. In some periods the society has had an active junior department as well as an adult society.

      The society was closed down in 2021.
