he club continued to present magic shows in and around Glasgow during the 1950s and 1960s, performing in local Town Halls, church halls and the premises of numerous charitable organisations. Then, in the 1970s, they twice hired the McLellan Galleries in Sauchiehall Street for complete weekends, which gave the citizens of Glasgow the opportunity to experience a bonanza of magic. Crowds were attracted into the Galleries by the Sword Suspension and Zig-Zag Girl illusions, which were performed in the open-air on Sauchiehall Street. During the course of the Saturday and Sunday of each event members of the S.C.A. put on some 14 shows of stage magic and illusions, 10 shows of children's magic and 6 performances of Punch and Judy. Additionally there were more than 30 acts of close-up magic, together with displays dealing with the history of magic consisting of antique apparatus, theatre posters, books and other memorabilia. There was an attendance of roughly 1,000 people during each weekend.

For the past couple of decades the S.C.A. has changed course. Instead of putting on shows for the paying public, they have channelled their energies into performing for people in their own clubs and institutions with an emphasis on charitable organisations. Old peoples homes, the Institute for the Deaf, and Multiple Sclerosis Society are just some of the organisations and charities that have benefited from this policy. Christmas parties have also featured prominently with Boys' Brigade and Cub Scouts being invited to the clubrooms.

In the 1950s the S.C.A. started to host lecturers from overseas for the benefit of its members. It commenced with such luminaries as Hen Fetsch, Dai Vernon, Dorny, Milton Kort, Al Goshman and Scotty Lang. This tradition has happily continued with increased vigour to the present day.
