THE INTERNATIONAL
BROTHERHOOD OF MAGICIANS
SINGAPORE RING 115 – THE GREAT WONG RING
The International Brotherhood of Magicians, Singapore Ring 115, was
formed in December, 1950. Presently, we have about 60 members who come
from all walks of life: from doctor, engineers, businessmen to magic
dealers and students. The members meet once a month (every 15th of the
month) Bayview Hotel (30 Bencoolen Street) from 7.30 pm to 10pm to
discuss magic techniques, exchange ideas and share the latest effects
in magic.
Over the years, Singapore Ring 115 has been active in organising magic
activities for her members and the general public. These activities
include monthly meetings, public shows, competitions, visits to magic
Ring of neighbouring countries, fund raisings for charitable
organisations, lectures/talks by visiting magicians, magic auctions,
annual dinners, etc.
In 1995, our Ring 115 was awarded the status of a “Quality
Ring” in the Ring Quality Recognition Programme by the
International Brotherhood of Magicians (IBM) Board of Trustees, USA.
The Award was given in recognition of our Ring's extensive and varied
programmes. At that time, we were the 6 th Ring, and also the first
Ring outside of America and Canada, to be accorded this Award. This
achievement not only brought great credit to our Ring, our members, and
the art of Magic, it also put Singapore prominently on the map of the
international magic scene.
Presently, the International Brotherhood of Magicians has more than 300
affiliates, each like the Singapore Ring 115, spread all over the
world. The International Head Office is located in St. Louis, Missouri,
USA. Each year, a major convention is organised in which magicians from
all over the world gather at a prominent city to display their skills
and share in the art of magic. Members of Singapore Ring 115 had
attended the magic convention held in Hawaii in 1983.
When foreign magicians visit Singapore, either on business or vacation,
they will make contact with Ring 115. It has traditionally been the
custom of Ring 115 to host get-together sessions with these visiting
magicians. Over the years, famous magicians like Andre Kole, Michael
Ammar, The Pendragon, etc, had stepped on our shores and met up with
our members.
The International Brotherhood of Magicians is truly the international
passport to friendship in magic!
