In 2004, Opie Houston began a study guide for the Society of American Magicians Assembly 206 in Austin, Texas. His goal was to line up resources for each monthly topic to help members prepare and follow up on the ideas for that month. For the next 8 years, Opie faithfully provided a cornucopia of resources which are still being discovered by people today. For now we are presenting these guides as they were originally designed, topics by month and year for the Assembly 206 meetings. We may rearrange them to take advantage of what we can do in the new web site.

If you enjoy these, and we know you will, all the credit goes to Opie Houston. These reflect countless hours of research he did so that you could learn more about the art of magic.
