New Meeting Place for Saturday Magicians Group Announced

6/21/2018

3 Comments

 
The location of the longstanding group of magicians that meets on Saturdays in New York has changed. The new location, at least for now, is upstairs at 33 Gourmet Deli, at 157 West 33rd Street, between 6th and 7th Avenues. The Saturday magicians group has met regularly for decades, according to some longtime members since the 1940s. Prior locations include the Governor Cafeteria, and Reubens Deli. Until recently the group had been meeting at Cafe Rustico, a pizza restaurant on 35th Street, which has closed.

The group has been one of the hubs of the New York City magic community, a place to learn from other magicians, share knowledge, try out new tricks, and pick up the latest news. Over the years many notable magicians have attended the get-togethers during the course of working on their skills and building their careers, however it is a resource that is available to anyone who is interested in magic. We have a separate write up about the group in our Magic Guide (scroll down until you find the blog post "Magic Guide, NYC).

We will stay up to date on the status of the group's locations and report back with an update if anything changes.

Any idea if they're still there? I spent a frustrating couple of hours yesterday trying to follow a trail of half-eaten breadcrumbs.
