We are reaching out on behalf of my dear friend, Jimmy Brown, who is 79 years old and currently facing eviction from his apartment. With a court date set for April 10th, time is critical, and we are asking for help to keep Jimmy in his home.

Jimmy is truly one of a kind. For decades, he has brought joy and wonder to people around the world as a talented magician. Closer to home, he’s a beloved fixture in the Lake George, New York Community, where he has performed at the Magic Forest theme park for decades, delighting families and children with his incredible shows.

Many also know Jimmy as “Santa Jimmy,” spreading holiday cheer and bringing the magic of Christmas to countless families year after year. His kindness, warmth, and dedication to making others smile have touched so many lives.

Last year, Jimmy was diagnosed with prostate cancer. After enduring a long and difficult year of treatment, he is thankfully now in remission. However, the road to full recovery is still ongoing, and the financial strain from his illness has left him struggling to keep up with rent and basic living expenses.

We are raising $5,000 to help Jimmy pay back rent, catch up on bills, and avoid losing his home during this vulnerable time. Every donation, no matter the size, will go directly toward helping Jimmy regain stability and focus on his continued recovery.

If you’re unable to donate, sharing this page would mean just as much.
Jimmy has spent his life bringing magic, joy, and comfort to others; now it’s our turn to help him in his time of need.

Thank you for your kindness and support.

We ended 2025 with a spectacular meeting headlined by Robert Francis' workshop on his Ring on Rope routine. Assembly 181 supplied metal rings and magicians' rope for members to follow along with Robert's instructions.

Following every workshop, we open the stage to member performances in our “No Judgement Magic Zone” where everyone gets to perform.

A calendar conflict will prevent us from having a January meeting so that the next meeting of Assembly 181 will be Thursday, February 5, 2026.

Until then have a Happy New Year and we will see you all next year.
