Join us on Wednesday, December 9, 2014, for the IBM Ring 216 Annual Stage/Parlor Magic Competition.

In addition to the standard division, we will also have our Masters Division if there are enough competitors. So if you have won first place in one of the competition events in previous years, then you qualify for the master's division and can sign up for this event!

Bring your friends or family with you to enjoy an evening of great magic. The more people we have, the better the magic.
