PURPOSE OF THE CLUB

The Fort Worth Magicians Club, Inc. is a non-profit corporation organized under the Texas Non-Profit Corporation Act. The club's purpose  is to promote the art of magic illusion (i.e. sleight-of-hand, prestidigitation, and legerdemain).

The club opposes the willful exposure to the public the principles of the art of magic and the methods employed in magic effects and illusions. The club seeks to display ethical behavior in the presentation of magic to the public and in conduct as magicians, including not interfering with or jeopardizing the performance of another magician either through personal intervention or the unauthorized use of other's creations. The club recognizes and respects the rights of the creators, inventors, authors and owners of magic concepts, presentations, effects and literature, and their rights to have exclusive use of, or to grant permission for the use by others of such creations.

Furthermore the club discourages false and misleading statements in the advertising of effects, and literature, merchandise or actions pertaining to the magical arts. The club discourages advertising in magical publications for any magical apparatus, effect, literature, or other materials for which the advertiser does not have commercial rights. The club also promotes the humane treatment and care of livestock used in magical performances. The club also seeks to promote harmony in the magical arts, advance the ethics of the magic profession, and carry out educational programs that benefit and increase the knowledge of the illusion arts to members of the club.
