Keepers of secrets and mystery

A club with a past.
A purpose for what comes next.

Baltimore’s magic history runs deep. Poe’s Magic Club carries that history forward inside the historic Lord Baltimore Hotel, bringing committed magicians together to study, rehearse, perform, and build careers with considerably less hand-waving than the phrase “networking opportunity” usually involves.

We keep secrets, but we are not a secret society. Membership is open to amateurs, professionals, collectors, historians, inventors, writers, and non-performing enthusiasts who respect the art and the people practicing it.

What membership means

Magic in Baltimore City

Looking for Baltimore’s magic community?

Poe’s Magic Club is Baltimore City’s only magic club, an independent home for working magicians, amateur performers, mentalists, collectors, historians, inventors, writers, and people seriously learning the art. We meet every Tuesday, in person at the Lord Baltimore Hotel on the second Tuesday of each month and online on the other Tuesdays.

Other organizations serving magicians in the Baltimore region include International Brotherhood of Magicians Ring 179 and Society of American Magicians Assembly 6. Poe’s Magic Club is not an IBM Ring or SAM Assembly. We are an independent club based in Baltimore City, connected to a working Baltimore magic theatre, a theatrical magic conference, and the city’s long history of conjuring.

Searching for a magic shop in Baltimore? Poe’s is a membership club rather than a retail magic store, but members can learn magic, exchange knowledge, attend lectures, study books and videos, develop performances, and meet other Baltimore magicians without having to purchase a suspiciously expensive drawer box first.

Can beginners join the magic club?

Yes. Applications are open to beginners, experienced magicians, mentalists, collectors, historians, writers, inventors, and serious enthusiasts. Respect for the art and its people matters more than owning an alarming number of card decks.

Where can I see live magic in Baltimore?
