WELCOME TO THE MILE HIGH MAGICIANS SOCIETY
The Mile High Magicians Society is a Denver-based association of magical enthusiasts dedicated to enjoying, appreciating and advancing the art of magic. Our performing members share their magic in many ways: From entertaining family, friends and neighbors, to street performances, to children’s birthday parties, at restaurants and banquets, at corporate events and on the speaking platform.
We meet monthly and regularly arrange for first-rate performers from around the world to perform and lecture for our members. We are a local chapter of both international magic organizations, the International Brotherhood of Magicians (IBM) #131 and the Society of American Magicians (SAM) Earl Reum Assembly #37.

Get Ready… Get Set… It’s SHOW TIME!
As a result of the pandemic, The Mile High Magicians Society stopped producing an annual public show. Our longtime members remember the high-class productions we presented at the Lakewood Culture Center and other venues over the years. Our younger and newer members have never experienced the magic our club is capable of presenting.
Well, the pandemic is over, and it’s time to get back in the game! The GOOD NEWS is that we’re doing a public show in 2024. YAHOO!
Producing a public show has always been our club’s primary fundraiser. However, starting over again is financially risky. So, this year we’re playing it SAFE. Our 2024 Public Show will be held at the Theater of Dreams in Castle Rock. Proprietors Joe & Carol Givan are long-time supporters of our club, and they’re giving us a deal we can’t refuse with no upfront investment.
We are planning afternoon and evening shows on Saturday, November 9th. Each show will be unique and feature different acts. For now, mark that day on your calendar.
Call for Talent 2024 Public Show Auditions

You can contact Shane at: shanemagicman@gmail.com, or call him with questions at: 520-275-6575. The talent committee will review all performance requests and select acts by September 30, 2024.
