SAM proclaims National Magic Week in honor of Houdini

J. Christopher Bontjes, National President of the Society of American Magicians, has issued the official proclamation of the week of October 25 to October 31 2012 as National Magic Week throughout the United States and Canada.

For more that 40 years the S.A.M. has recognized the anniversary of the death of Houdini with this special week of charitable performances. The free shows are part of service programs sponsored by the S.A.M. and follow the example set by Houdini who served as the National President form 1917 until his death in 1926.

Each year governors, mayors and other governing bodies throughout North America are requested to issue proclamations declaring the last week in October as National Magic Week, encouraging magicians to participate in the activities.
