We are glad to see your interest in Magic.
The Society of Young Magicians (SYM) is the junior section of the Society of American Magicians (SAM).
It was first brought to Canada by Bill Brace, with the first chapter being in Manitoba.
Since then, the SYM as been very active in Manitoba and is strongly supported by the adult’s Magic Club of Winnipeg.
We meet every two weeks during the school year. See our Calendar for specific dates. There are two age groups. The Mini-Wands for ages 7-9 meet at 10:00 am and the Top Hats for ages 10-17 meet at 11:30 am.
You are welcome to join at any time of the season. The program is structured so that you can start at any time.
You are also welcome to try a session to see how you like it. Parents/Guardians are welcome to stay as well.
