The International Brotherhood of Magicians is a worldwide group of magic enthusiasts. We are the largest magic group in the world. We'll use this site to get the word out to friends of our organization and create a better sense of community among our members. We'll also include pictures of our work and members.
Our Mission
We are dedicated to the enhancement of magic as an art form. To accomplish this, we hold regular meetings on the 4th Tuesday of every month. We commence at 7:00 pm at the S. W. Pitts Hose Company, 226 Old Loudon Road, in Latham, NY. There are also several other magician meetings throughout the month. See the news below for more.
THE CAPITAL MAGIC CONNECTION
November 1, 2026
This is a shorter than usual edition of this newsletter. My computer is “on the fritz.” I'm working from Jean's laptop and not doing so well. If I get more information, I'll send it out later.
MORNINGMAGIC GROUP
The next meeting of the morning group will be on Tuesday morning, November 3, at 8:30 am at the Ugly Rooster off Exit 12 of the Northway. Everyone interested in magic is welcome to join us.
If you need more information or directions, call Cliff Bruce, Dave McClements, or Ken Marcinowski.
NOVEMBERMEETINGOF THE SAM ASSEMBLY 24
SAM Assembly24 will meet on Tuesday, November 10, at 7:00 at S. W. Pitts Hose Company, 226 Old Loudon Road, in Latham, NY. Dave has suggested story telling has the topic for this meeting. Tricks with a good story are usually more fun than tricks without a story. However, whatever you want to share will be welcomed.
The club has received three boxes of tricks, books, and magazines which we will begin selling at this meeting to raise money for the club. So, bring some money to this meeting and buy us out.
I don't know who has volunteered to bring the refreshments for this meeting. If nobody has signed up we may have to go without.
NOVEMBERMEETING OF IBM RING 186
IBM Ring186 will meet on Tuesday, November 24 at 7:00 at S. W. Pitts Hose Company, 226 Old Loudon Road, in Latham, NY. The lecture scheduled for last month got switched to December. So, we will look forward to having that next month.
This meeting will be an open-mike event starring each and every one who attends this meeting. This is your chance to be a star. So come prepared to perform.
