Congressional Resolution 642

Congressional Resolution 642 is a proposed legislation, introduced to the United States House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform by Pete Sessions on 14 March 2016, to help preserve, protect, and promote magic as an art form. The movement is publicly headed by Las Vegas magician David Copperfield and is embodied by various magic organisations, including the Society of American Magicians and the International Brotherhood of Magicians, and by many politicians.[1][2][3] The bill demands that the United States House of Representatives:

(1) recognizes magic as a rare and valuable art form and national treasure;
(2) takes magicians seriously;
(3) supports efforts to make certain that magic is preserved, understood, and promulgated
