Latest News
I.B.M. Ring 1 members are large and in charge with this NEW table-top game from Board member Michael W. McClure. A dozen members of our society offered their images for the creation of this one-of-a-kind, deeply magic themed game. It pays homage to the MASTER magicians (performers from the last two centuries), the LEGENDS (magi from the last two millennia) and MYTHICS (the dieties our ancient ancestors attributed with supernatural powers).
Current leaders of our Ring 1 had their images added to flesh out the faces of the magical characters that never had "slefies" taken. Some of these leaders include Pres. D. Jay, Vice Pres. Timothy Shegitz, Sec. Sandy Weis, Board Directors Chan, Finkelstein, Gregor, Buesking, Zuehlke and McClure. Current I.B.M. President, Mike Dunagan, also provided his image (for Vainamoinen) to help complete the cast, along with other notable master magicans like: Lance Burton (Mercury), Andi Gladwin (Loki), Jay Sankey (Acetabularii), Shawn Farquhar (Michael Scot), Doug Conn (Nicholas Flamel), David Parr (Cyprian), Bill Goodwin (Simon Magus), Guy Bavli (Hypnos), Alan Fisher (Luca Pacioli), Harry Monti (Brahan Seer), and Tom Gentile (Neptune). World wide cultures and genders are included in this expansive coverage of the history of magic. No knowledge of its history is needed to play the game, but it serves as a perfect tool to introduce our Art to young and old alike. The mission is to create new magicians, and promote magic throughout the world.

Mike's Testimonial
Ring 1 offers a platform for growth and collaboration that has elevated my magic performances to new heights.
Throughout the year, our imaginations entertain stories of leprechauns in Spring, and other supernatural beings in the Fall. Please enjoy an old time radio broadcast from 1949 featuring an invisible entity taking great steps to fool Harry Blackstone Sr., The Magic Detective. The episode is titled "Footsteps in the Night." At the end of the show, Blackstone will teach a trick that anyone can perform. Just click the track below and enjoy the show ... but remember not to tell anyone the secret you will learn!
