Welcome to the Michael Ammar Lecture hosted by the Edinburgh Magic Circle! Join us for a magical experience on Sun, May 4, 2025 at 19:00PM, as we host one of the most prolific magic creators of a generation.
In 1983, Ammar entered the FISM magic competition and was awarded the Gold Medal for Close-Up Magic. In doing so, he became the second American in the history of the competition to do so. After winning at FISM, Ammar travelled west and became friends with the great Dai Vernon who became Ammar's mentor throughout the following years.
In 1998 Michael appeared on NBC's World's Greatest Magic.
He has produced over forty video titles, also books and magazines. In 1999 The Magic Magazine named him one of 100 most influential magicians of the century.
