Our History
George was the founder of Ring 179 of the International Brotherhood of Magicians (I.B.M.) back in 1965. The Ring changed its name to honor him in 1990. Check out the George Dency page for more info about our namesake.
Camaraderie of Magic
Just like all members of the I.B.M., our Ring members come from all walks of life. We have a wide range of magic skills that we gladly share with each other.
All Magicians Welcome
Come and learn and share magic, regardless of your skill level. If you are not already a member of the International Brotherhood of Magicians we can help you find out how to become one!
