The Colorado Springs Society of Young Magicians (S.Y.M.)
Professor Higgins is the advisor of the S.Y.M. Assembly #103 here in Colorado Springs, CO. Harry Houdini helped organize the Society of American Magicians (S.A.M.) in 1902, the oldest magic group devoted to learning and performing the art of magic. In an effort to teach a new generation of magicians, the S.A.M. sponsors the Colorado Springs S.Y.M., which was formed in 1993. All who have an interest in magic are welcome to join us. Members are ages 8 to 17.
We meet on the 1st Friday of each month from 6:30 to ~8 pm at:
Sand Creek Police Station
4125 Center Park
Colorado Springs, CO 80916
(1 block east of the Academy/Fountain intersection off of Academy Park Loop).
