Camelard college

Introducing the Camelard College of Conjuring of Chemmis Camelard College is a mythical magic school that exists in the world of magical delight, but which has an actual faculty of magicians that includes national officers in our largest magical organizations, accomplished professional magicians (many with Las Vegas fame), dedicated magical hobbyists, and young magicians who constitute the student body.

The Mythology In its mythology, Camelard College is affiliated with the Avalon Institute of Magic in Albion and with the original Bogmere School of Wizardry of Wales, near Stonehenge (made famous under another name in a series of popular novels about a young magician with a peculiar mark on his forehead). Camelard College is located in Chemmis, Egypt.

Also, all Camelard College faculty members are personal friends of Camelard Professors Merlin, Gandalf, and Dumbledore, as well as select famous and friendly wizards who live in the many magical lands of delight, including the land of Chemmis where Camelard is established. Camelard College Faculty are always proud to reference their Camelard College appointment during magic performance patter, especially during shows for youngsters who may already have read about famous schools of magic and wizardry. Faculty Members of Camelard College have the priviilege of using all or part of the Magic Maxim of the College to perform their wonders: Em Conspiciendus Miraculum!

The “Reality” In its reality, Camelard College …

   • seeks to enrich the magical performances of its members by granting titled positions on its Faculty and by granting the right to use its Magical Maxim in the public performance of conjuring.
   • seeks to honor magicians who are dedicated to the Art of Performance Magic. 
   • encourages those of its Faculty who are so inclined to teach magic to the worthy interested (see Faculty Handbook information, below).
   • offers free services such as email redirection.

The Faculty Handbook While the Institution is mythical, its members are not. All Camelard College faculty are encouraged, as their time and ability permit, to teach the Art of Magic, as, for example, through local libraries and community colleges. To that end, our teaching Faculty may order the official Faculty Handbook, The Complete Guide to Teaching Magic, 2nd edition written by CCCC Senior Full Professor Alfred Albers. The book contains guidance and tips to teaching magic courses through the local library or community college. Included are sample syllabi. The text can be ordered from the home page of CCCC.
