ADAM WILBER!

Adam Wilber Bio (www.AdamWilber.com):
These aren’t the normal words you would expect to find when looking to learn more about a magician for your event; whether it’s your office holiday party or someone to lecture at your magic club’s monthly meeting. Yet these are the traits that have made Adam Wilber one of the most sought after figures in his field today. That’s not to say that Adam Wilber isn’t amazing, funny, and entertaining. To the contrary, those are actually how he’s been described by the Syfy Channel, c|net, and the staff at Google. But it’s his innovation and contributions to the world and art of magic that has put him in such high demand; both with the public and his fellow magicians. When Adam was six years old, he showed his first magic trick to his father and, at that moment, he knew that this was what he wanted to do for the rest of his life. That look of wonder and joy on his dad’s face triggered something in Adam that made him know, even at such a young age, that he was born to create, and perform, magic. Devoting not just his childhood, but his entire life, to the art of magic, Adam has become the GM of the most successful magic store of all time, www.Ellusionist.com and has gone on to create products (such as PYRO, seen in the video above), magic tricks, decks of playing cards, and illusions that are used by fellow magicians all over the world. What’s more, is that all of these can be seen live, when Adam comes to your event. Don’t let Adam’s pioneering and creator image fool you; when Adam arrives at your function he is the epitome of high energy, fun, and class. He’s the perfect solution for your upcoming corporate or private event; whether it’s set in a small private dining room or an enormous convention center. Adam delivers fast-paced, highly interactive comedy magic that is guaranteed to keep your audience rolling in the aisles and will be displaying cutting edge magic that has never been seen before. It’s this unique opportunity, to see magic performed by its creator, that has garnered Adam millions of views and spots on NBC, Good Morning America, Discovery Channel and SyFy, while also performing for companies such as Google, Hilton Hotels, NCIS, Intel and BMW.

IBM Ring 21 Monthly September Meeting: Caryl Fleming and the 1930s Magic
2021-09-02 19:00 - 21:00 | ZOOM!, Meeting Invite to be sent via email prior to meeting.
Hello Everyone! This month we will be paying some respects to Caryl Fleming who our Ring is named after and the theme will be 1930s magic!
We will begin the meeting by talking some history of the ring and learn about who Caryl Fleming was. Then we will go into member performances of 1930s magic. What is 1930s magic? Well here are some ideas:

Think the classics!
Open an old book you may have on your shelf from that time and learn an effect!
Google some other magicians from that time and see what they were performing then do something similar!

Should be an interesting one! Please leave your Smart Phone and Technology driven effects at home! 🙂

IBM Ring 21 Monthly June Meeting: Jeki Yoo ZOOM Lecture!
2021-06-03 19:00 - 21:30 | ZOOM!, Meeting Invite to be sent via email prior to meeting.
Join us for our June meeting where we will be having Jeki Yoo lecture for the ring!

Jeki is an International Award Winner and Performer!
After winning Asia’s greatest magic contest, The Busan International Magic Festival, in 2006 as a high school student, Jeki began winning international contests like a comet. His magic was innovative, inspired other magicians, and roused applause from audiences around the globe with its fresh originality.
In 2009, Jeki won a close-up magic award from the International Brotherhood of Magicians, the world’s largest organization of magicians.
Since then, Jeki and his magic have wowed audiences in England, France, Sweden, Italy, Japan, China, and many other countries including Scotland where, as a member of SNAP, one of Korea’s biggest magic shows, he was invited to perform at the famed Edinburgh Festival.
Jeki has also graced the stage of the incredibly popular hit show America’s Got Talent. Over 13 million people watched him perform his own unique style of close-up magic before an impressed panel of celebrity judges. Even the infamous Simon Cowell was left stunned by what he had just witnessed. Though Jeki didn’t continue on in the competition, he left the stage having won the hearts of a nation. “Love your laugh”, “(F)reaking awesome”, “I love his giggle”, and “Jeki is so cool” are just a few of the comments that hit social media afterward.
Not only was Jeki able to leave with his head held high, but, he also left crowned with the title “cutest magician of all time” (courtesy of America’s Got Talent by way of Twitter).
​Lecture as always is free for members, $10.00 for non members and we have a special $5.00 fee to attend for Magic Castle Members. Please come prepared to pay the day of the event either via PayPal or Venmo.

IBM Ring 21 Monthly March Meeting: Ideas for Zoom Performance with Gerry Schiller!
2021-03-04 19:00 - 21:00 | ZOOM!, Meeting Invite to be sent via email prior to meeting.
We have an exciting lecture lined up for March. Our very own Gerry Schiller will be lecturing on the topic of “Ideas for Zoom Performance”. I am very excited to see his take on Zoom and how it has impacted his performance/effect selection.
This lecture is free for anyone who would like to attend.
Lecture info:

Our March meeting will feature a lecture by longtime Ring 21 member Gerald (Gerry) Schiller.

He has performed all over the U.S. as well as on cruises on China’s Yangtze River

and Europe’s Danube.

For many years he has also been a Magic Castle member and performer—regularly doing his magic for the Parlour Brunch shows and doing “outreach” representing the Castle at hospitals and retirement facilities.

His lecture will focus on “Tricks on Zoom” and include adapting your magic to the challenge of a “virtual audience,” choosing material that will work, and the potential problems as well as the advantages of using the Zoom format.

Some new—and some traditional—magic effects will be covered, analyzed, and explained.

Join Ring 21 members on Thursday, March 4 at 7:00 pm for an informative and fun lecture.

See you all on Zoom!

Finally, we will be collecting donations via Venmo during the meeting for the Spark Of Love! We usually collect a gift or toy but this year since that would be difficult we are asking that you donate $10 to us and we will gather the donations to be sent to Spark of Love. Spark of Love donates toys and gifts to kids who are not as fortunate as some of us which I think we can all agree is extra important during this difficult year.
