Hello everyone,

As many of you are aware, the Magic Café is a free resource for magicians all over the world. This is not to say, however, that it doesn't cost anything to operate the site.

As the Café grows, so does its hardware needs. To date the site has been on four different servers, each more powerful than the last, and we are again faced with that reality.

Total operating expenses for the Magic Café are quite high, and and are only partially covered by our sponsors. In addition, we do not charge our members for access to this invaluable resource. The expenses are for server rental, bandwidth, and server tech fees. Expenses do not include payments to any person connected to the Café itself. All of the staff are volunteers and are not paid for their time. They are strictly out-of-pocket expenses paid to keep the Café up and running.

If you wish to donate money toward operating costs, please click the "PayPal Donations" button below. You may send any amount of money you wish. There is absolutely NO OBLIGATION to donate! It is entirely up to you. If you feel the Café is worth something to you and you want to give to the cause, then please feel free to do so.

Please note: If you wish to donate at a later date, please come back to THIS PAGE. Beware of fraud!

All donations are strictly confidential. If you wish for us to know your identity when you donate, please include your Café username in the "Payment For" field on the PayPal page.

If you prefer to send a check or money order, click the "Donations By Mail" button below. (You must be registered and logged in to see the button.) The donation mailing address will be provided.

Thanks to all!
