I have been a member of S.A.M. since getting inolved in magic in the mid 70's...which club is better (or are they pretty much the same I.B.M. or S.A.M. in my personal opinion I think they are pretty much the same...I've always thought (and I could be wrong) that I.B.M. was geared more towards the professional or semi professional....I'm just a small baby step above a hobbyist looking forward to getting some table hopping gigs..

The S.A.M. is for professionals, and hobbyist. The S.A.M. roots were for the working magicians through the early to mid 1900s

The S.A.M. has ten years of online meetings archived on the website. We have four online meetings through out the month including one is Spanish that is translated in real time. One of those meetings is a 45 minute work shop coving a single move or effects. If you have any questions about the S.A.M. you can PM me here or email me marketing at magicsam.com
