ABOUT THE CONJURORS' CLUB

For the first time in 100 years, the secretive magic society The Conjurors' Club pulls back the curtain for an interactive experience that redefines the face of modern magic. Take a front-row seat and immerse yourself in the arcane and mysterious with three different magicians. Physical distance can't keep the amazing mind-reading, reality-bending illusions, and extraordinary transformations from reaching through the screen and directly into your home. As honorary members of the Club, you'll receive your own secret package for use during your visit that is guaranteed to surprise and delight all of your senses-but you must promise to keep the secrets...

The Conjurors' Club runs approximately 75 minutes and is recommended for ages 12+.

The Conjurors' Club was originally developed in collaboration with MinuteZero. The live experience premiered in 2017; the virtual experience was further developed and premiered in 2020 at The Orchard Project.
