Our Leadership and Team
The International Brotherhood of Magicians is guided by a dedicated group of officers, executive committee members, and staff who work together to advance our mission of inspiring and connecting magicians around the world. These individuals bring a deep passion for the art of magic, a commitment to service, and a wealth of experience from both the magic community and beyond. Together, they help shape the vision and direction of the I.B.M., ensuring that we remain a vibrant, inclusive, and forward-thinking organization.
​
Our staff members play a vital role in supporting our global membership, managing day-to-day operations, and delivering programs and resources that keep the magic alive year-round. From coordinating events and publications like The Linking Ring to handling member services and communications, they are the foundation that keeps everything running smoothly. We’re proud to introduce the people behind the scenes—and behind the spotlight—who make the I.B.M. strong.
