I live practically next door to hampton court palace
Hi Kainite. That's quite a prestidgious address you have. There are a few that way, although you would probably need to hop of the tube for most of them.
Davenports run one in central london, then there is the Zodiac Magical Society. I do not know much about that though as I haven't had much dealing with them.
The Watford Association of Magicians (WAM) is one of the better ones that I personally know about - so that is probably the one I would contact first in your shoes. The Surrey Association of Magicians is also quite well known. That io ssituated in Ashstead - if you prefer to travel south.

sky321 - not sure why you are having a problem with the site. It should be ok, although I haven't checked it for a while. Having said that - when I looked just now it was a little slow...
Any of the links above will take you directly to one of the regions. I am not sure whereabouts you live as you haven't filled in the location part of your profile, if you let me know I can send you details of those societies directly in your area.
