PROUD HISTORY, DYNAMIC FUTURE

ABOUT THE INTERNATIONAL BROTHERHOOD OF MAGICIANS (IBM) AND RING 43

 

The International Brotherhood of Magicians, founded in 1922, is the world's largest (nearly 12,000 members worldwide) and most respected organization for professional and part-time professional magicians, hobbyists, collectors of magic apparatus and books and magic enthusiasts. Its more than 300 individual chapters are known as Rings.

Ring 43, founded in 1946, has had many outstanding magicians as members, including noted authors (see list below). Twenty-seven are listed in T.A. Waters' The Encyclopedia of Magic and Magicians, and seven served as I.B.M. International Presidents. Our limited edition 60th anniversary collectors' book, published in 2006, details our illustrious history and accomplishments.

About Harlan Tarbell

Harlan Eugene Tarbell (1890-1960) was an American stage magician and illustrator of the early 20 century. He was the author of the definitive, multi-volume, Tarbell Course in Magic.

In 1911, Tarbell moved to Chicago to pursue a career in professional illustration. His work attracted the attention of magic company Read and Covert, hiring Tarbell to work on their illustrated, Catalogue of Superior Magical Apparatus. 

Tarbell later discussed his teaching course philosophy, "There is a big difference between a magician and a man who does tricks...Fundamentally, the making of a magician is no different than the making of other professional people."

Tarbell lived in suburban Elmhurst the last 34 years of his life.
