The Conjuring Arts Research Center is a not-for-profit organization founded in 2003. The organization is based in Manhattan, New York City and is dedicated to the preservation and interpretation of magic and similar arts.[1] The center is largely self-funded but they rely on donations, commissions for custom card decks, and subscription fees to help raise money.[2] They maintain a library of books, posters, and other texts related to magic and other similar things, with texts from as far back as the 1500s.[3] The center is not open to the public and requires an appointment to visit.[4]
