Before an Associate Member can be accepted to be an Ordinary Member, he is required to take and pass an induction test, preferably within a one-year time frame.

He is to put up a short performance of 8 to 10 minutes duration. He can perform any type of tricks, from close-up to parlour to mentalism to children’s magic. He is to dress accordingly and put up a professional performance. He is to perform as though it is a paid show.

There will be a panel of judges comprising 3 to 5 of our Committee Members. He is to inform any of our Committee Members in advance of the month he will be taking the induction test so that we can get the panel of judges to be ready.

Judging will be based on the following criteria:

40 points for Presentation (entertainment value, control and handling of spectators)
30 points for General Conjuring Skill (sleight and/or handling of props, innovation, modification of climax/handling of original effect)
20 points for Routining (arrangement and cohesion of effects)
10 points for Appearance (dressing and mannerism)

The inductee will need to score at least 60 points out of 100 for him to qualify for Ordinary membership.
