View The Linking RingThe International Brotherhood of Magicians is the world's largest organization dedicated to the art of magic, with members in 88 countries. Since 1922, our official publication, The Linking Ring, has linked magicians throughout the world. Hundreds of local branches of the I.B.M., or Rings, meet each month. Our Annual Convention features top professional magicians in our spectacular evening shows, while our Gold Medal Contest for stage magic and Gold Cups Contest for close-up magic attract some of the best up-and-coming magicians from across the globe.
The I.B.M. offers many outstanding benefits, but among the most important are your opportunities to grow in magic and to have fun with others who love the art. Whether you're a professional performer or a weekend hobbyist, an intrigued college student or an avid collector, a Las Vegas legend, or a brand new beginner — if you love magic, you're among friends.
I personally invite you to join us, connect with others, and explore the future of magic by becoming a member of the International Brotherhood of Magicians.
