The Magic Circle or the Magician's Circle was an organization created for the practice of magic or to further the knowledge of magic among its members. It was active in late 19th century London. The organisation seemed to command respect as Lord Palethorn joined it for that very reason.[1][1.1] Not much else is known about the Magic Circle, safe for the fact that its members were not allowed to practise Black Magic, as Lord Palethorn was expelled for doing so.[1.1]
Known members
- Professor Hamilton Kift
- Lord Palethorn (expelled in December 1877[1.2])
