The South African Magic Council (SAMCO) was founded in 1985, when the first meeting was held in May of that year.
The aims and purpose of the council are:
| To develop and elevate the art of magic. | |
| To unify the organization of magic in South Africa. | |
| To co-ordinate the activities of the member societies and to encourage the exchange of reciprocal aid and services. | |
| To ensure a National Event is held each year. | |
| To encourage magicians to strive for an international standard of performance in order to participate in the World Championships. | |
| To act as official spokesman for magic in South Africa, insofar as the media and public are concerned. |
Each year the Annual General Meeting is held during the S.A. National Magic Event. Every three years the S.A. Magic Championships are staged.
