International Brotherhood of Magicians British Ring No.25
85th Annual Magic Convention
7th-10th September 2023 - Eastbourne
10 lectures, 7 stage shows, 2 prestigious competitions plus much more…all at one magic convention.
On a sunny Sunday afternoon in September, at approximately 4:35pm, at a convention centre in Eastbourne, UK, a blue shroud, emblazoned with numerous small brass name plaques was placed over my head and on to my shoulders: I proudly became the 2022-2023 president of the International Brotherhood of Magicians British Ring No. 25. A real honour.
As part of my role as the president, my duty is not only to promote friendship and passion for magic but also the society itself, and most importantly this year’s upcoming convention. So, if you’re sitting comfortably, let me begin by showing you what we have in store for this year’s, the 85th I.B.M. British Ring Magic convention In Eastbourne, UK, from 7-10 September:
If you’ve never been to one of these conventions before, you’re in for an absolute treat! Before I go any further, and to give you a brief introduction, let me break it down into one sentence: 10 lectures, 7 stage shows, 2 prestigious competitions plus much more…all at one convention. I could stop there, but this wouldn’t be much of an article would it, plus I haven’t fulfilled my role here so…I’ll continue.
Each year we pick the best magic shows straight from the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, this year’s selection include Charlie Caper, the first magician in the world to win a Got Talent contest in Sweden and a magician’s favourite at the Edinburgh convention, he’ll be performing his one man show and lecturing - this will be his first UK magic convention appearance.
Plus Griffin & Jones, the winner’s of last year’s I.B.M. Stage Competition and JezO. Lecturers include Christian Grace, a unique innovator of card magic and founder of Magic Monthly, Adrien Quillen, the audience favourite at Blackpool Magic Convention’s ‘The One’ competition, he’ll be performing his bar act in the gala show and presenting his lecture. Other lectures include Joel Dickenson, Chris Congreave and John-Henry Larson. Artistes and acts appearing throughout the 4 days of magic include South Korean manipulator Yollin Lee, Scottish magician & illusionist Louise Andrée, Keith Fields and Lady Sarah, illusionist Richard Cadell plus many more.
One of the unique experiences that can be discovered at the convention is that all events, shows ,workshops and talks never overlap, giving you time and freedom in between events to buy from the magic dealers, jam/session/catch up with friends grab a drink or make new friends to jam with. We like to describe it as the friendly convention, it’s relaxed, fun but with plenty to do.
For further details and to register Book on our website www.britishring.org.uk or contact the registration officer at ibmbritishring25reg@gmail.com.
I look forward to welcoming you, and introducing you to the next president, I’ll be placing the blue shroud onto their shoulders on a (hopefully) sunny Sunday afternoon in September.
