The Center for Tactical Magic is an American artist group[4] launched in 2000[1] and based in the San Francisco Bay Area[2] that engages in research, development, and deployment of actions, events and community-based projects that combine art, magic and politics.[5] In 2017, the founder of the Center was detained at San Francisco International Airport and interrogated by members of a Tactical Terrorism Response Team without explanation.[6]
