If you've been curious about the Society of American Magicians, you can experience what the world's oldest and most prestigious organization has to offer by taking advantage of the S.A.M. Trial Membership option.

Trial Membership is a four month, temporary membership option that gives you the advantages of full membership, without a long term commitment. This includes:

• Four months of M-U-M, the society's respected flagship magazine, in the mail.
• Access to the member-only section of the S.A.M. website, alone worth the price of membership. It contains
• Archived issues of M-U-M.
• S.A.M. media library of historical and teaching DVDs,
• Teach-a-trick segments from magic icons and M-U-M.
• S.A.M.shop, an online shop of S.A.M. items for S.A.M. members.
• Access to SAMtalk, a moderated online mailing list with more than 1,700 members.

We're confident that once you explore these and other S.A.M. membership benefits, you'll want to join the more than 6,000 proud members of this worldwide organization. Sign up, today!

Please note: Trial membership cannot be used for S.A.M. Convention discounts. Trial members will not receive a S.A.M. membership card or membership pin. For information about assemblies near you use the Assembly Locator, located at the top of every page in the site. Just select your state.

What is Trial Membership?
Trial Membership is a four-month, temporary membership option.

How much does it cost?
$25.00 (U.S.A., Canada, Mexico) or $30.00 for International ($5.00 postage surcharge for mailed M-U-M).

What do I get?
Trial Membership gives you most of what the S.A.M. offers full members, but without a long-term commitment. This includes

• Four months of M-U-M magazine.
• Access to the members-only section of the S.A.M. website.
• Access to SAMtalk, a members-only moderated online mailing list.

Why is the S.A.M. offering Trial Membership?
This is an opportunity for those magic enthusiasts who have never read M-U-M magazine or have not seen the other benefits of the S.A.M. to see what all the fuss is about. Seeing is believing

How does Trial Membership work?
When you pay your $25 temporary dues, you will begin receiving M-U-M magazine in the mail. You also will receive a special membership number that unlocks the members-only section of the S.A.M. website. At the end of four months, your special membership number expires. You will cease receiving M-U-M and will no longer be able to access SAMtalk or the member-only section of the S.A.M. website, unless you renew as a full member.

What's the catch?
No catch. You are not obligated at the end of your four month period to become a permanent member of the S.A.M., but we're confident that once you sample M-U-M and our other benefits, you will realize that the S.A.M. is THE magic organization for you.
