To help you catch up on what you've missed, here is what those in the know have been writing about our organisation THE ASSOCIATION OF INTERNATIONAL MAGICAL SPECTATORS

THE NEWSLETTER (Published continuously since 1992.)

Jim Hagy, the internationally distinguished magical editor, author, lecturer and all-round nice guy wrote: "Thanks for the latest copy of THE MAGICAL SPECTATOR. It is always a pleasure to receive. What a relief to know that there is a forum in which the most important questions which will influence magic in the next century can be addressed and resolved with precision."

(Note: There is no proof what-so-ever to substantiate the allegation that Jim was not

completely sober at the time he wrote the above!!!)

THE BADGE (Worth a year's subscription)

Daniel Stashower, international author and reformed magician wrote: "I can't begin to tell you how deeply impressed -- indeed, moved -- my new wife was when I arrived home wearing my new AIMS badge. She said something to the effect that if she'd known about this last month, before she married me -- but then the rest of it was a sort of garbled mumble which I chose to interpret as a state of high arousal."

(Note: There have been unconfirmed rumours that the badge has an influence on

members of the opposite sex!!!)

THE MEMBERSHIP CARD (Proof of Pro. Spectator Status)

James B. Alfredson, world renowned magic magazine hoarder and distinguished President of The Magic Collectors Association, wrote: "I am clutching the membership card to my bosom until I can flash it at a performing magician."

(Note: Our constitution and bye-laws definitely allow you to place it on your bedside

table while you sleep!!!)

OUR ORGANISATION
(The World's Greatest [and only] Magical Spectators Alliance)

Peter Lane, the Hon. Librarian of the prestigious Magic Circle, wrote: "An Associate of the Inner Magic Circle puts the letters AIMC after his/her name on their magical visiting cards. Your members can put AIMS. Most people won't notice the difference. If they do just say it must be a printing error. People can save themselves a lot of money on a Magic Circle membership by joining you. What a bargain! Enclosed please find my cheque."
