The JUMP Sessions

JUMP is a monthly, informal event where members come to practice magic or sleights they have been working on in a comfortable environment of your peers.  To share what you have been working on for either feedback or to work out the kinks of your performance.

Saturday Table

Some club members meet every Saturday for a lively magic jam where members share new tricks, refine routines, and help each other crack problems they’ve been stuck on for months. You might walk away with a book from someone’s historic collection, advice from a working magician about real-world gigs, or inspiration from seeing many different styles of magic—plus the warmth of a friendly, supportive community that loves helping one another grow.

Magic Conferences and Shows

Beyond our weekly gatherings, members often team up to attend some of the biggest magic events in the world. In recent years, groups from the Assembly have traveled together to Magic Live in Las Vegas, Magifest in Columbus, Vanishing Inc.’s magic trips, and even the Magic Castle Cruise—always optional, but made far more fun when you’re surrounded by friends who share your passion.

We also organize group outings to magic shows, including performances by Harrison Greenbaum and Joshua Jay, as well as lectures and special events. Whether you’re attending a major convention or catching a show in the city, being part of PA1 means you’ll always have fellow magicians to share the experience with.
