Significance

The Magic Circle sits alongside the Academy of Magical Arts in Hollywood as one of the most prestigious and influential magic societies in the world. Infamous for strictly interpreting the rule of “never reveal your secrets” (many members have been kicked out for exposure, and Penn and Teller, famously, have never been let in), the club located in the heart of London hosts magic events year-round.
