Please join us for our next Ring One meeting on a SPECIAL NIGHT, Friday, August 21st, at 7 pm (Parkway UCC, 2841 N. Ballas Road, St. Louis, MO 63131) for an in-person Lecture featuring an internationally acclaimed performer, Jamie Williams!
Craig Petty claims that Jamie "is one of magic's greatest creators!" Jamie Williams, AIMC, is an award-winning magician and creator
whose material is performed by professionals worldwide.
Named WOW Magazine Magician of the Year and an Associate
of The Inner Magic Circle, Jamie is known for practical,
commercial magic including Celebrikey, Sticker Kicker, Star
Draws, and the hit release 2Face.
This lecture is packed with powerful, practical close-up magic designed for real-world performance. The material
focuses on strong audience reactions, clever but workable methods, and routines that professionals actually use!
Attendees will learn commercial card magic, visual magic with everyday objects, and modern handlings of classic
plots — all tested in professional performance environments.
1. Regal’s Roundhouse – Jamie’s modern handling of David Regal’s classic plot where no card is selected, yet
the impossible reveal hits incredibly hard. This routine received a standing ovation during Jamie’s lecture at the
Blackpool Magic Convention.
2. Sticker Kicker – Jamie’s award-winning routine (Penguin Magic Trick of the Year) that combines a fun premise
with a shocking and memorable finale.
3. 2Face – A powerhouse two-phase card routine created with David Jonathan that blends visual magic with a
clever structure that leaves audiences stunned.
4. I Suck at Poker – A comedic and baffling routine where the magician claims he has no idea how to play poker,
yet impossibly locates all four aces.
5. Wait, What? – Jamie’s hands-off ACAAN where the card and number match perfectly… using a borrowed
deck… and the magician never touches the cards.
6. I-Paper – A visual piece of modern magic where a borrowed mobile
phone is scrunched up like paper and restored — with no switches or gimmicks.
Visit www.ibmringone.com for all of the details. DO NOT miss this opportunity to learn great magic from one of the best that the UK has to offer. Admission is FREE (for first-time guests) ... come join us for an amazing night!

Magic! An Evening of Wonder brings together one of the most extraordinary lineups ever assembled on a single stage.

Saturday, July 25 • 3:15 PM - 4:45 PM
Overview
Seven of the world's best close-up magicians. One stage. Impossible things happening inches from your face. All ages. Showtime 3:15pm
Close-up magic is the most intimate, most unnerving kind. There's nowhere to hide — the magician is right in front of you, and the impossible still happens anyway.
The International Magic Close-Up Show brings together seven of the most celebrated close-up artists in the world for an evening that will rewire your sense of reality. Jonathan Burns — dubbed "Extremely Funny" by the New York Times and twice named Variety Artist of the Year — brings his one-of-a-kind blend of comedy, contortion, and magic that has left audiences on The Late Show and America's Got Talent completely speechless. Jonathan Levit, private magician to some of Hollywood's biggest names, delivers the kind of sophisticated sleight of hand that has made him one of the most sought-after performers on the planet. Andi Gladwin — co-founder of the world's largest magic company, Vanishing Inc., and the subject of the 2026 Tribeca Festival documentary Stealing Magic — brings a performance career that has taken him from presidential inaugurations to Penn & Teller's green room, where he walked out having fooled them. Paige Thompson is a triple threat — illusion, stage, and close-up — whose work at the Chicago Magic Lounge and appearances on Penn & Teller: Fool Us and Masters of Illusion have made her one of the most exciting performers working today. Aaron Fisher, author of The Paper Engine — considered a seminal text for card magicians worldwide — brings decades of mastery to bear on material that has influenced an entire generation of performers. You simply won't believe what the wunderkind Ari Zarret brings to the close-up table - artistry and excellence far beyond his age. And Chris Korn, known to 74 million viewers from his international television series and billed as the King of Close-Up Magic, closes the circle on a lineup that simply doesn't happen every day.
This is magic at its most personal, its most precise, and its most impossible. Family-friendly and open to all ages. Doors open at 3:00 PM, showtime at 3:15 PM.

Wednesday, July 22 • 7:30 PM - 9 PM

The world's top magicians descend on St. Louis for one spectacular night of magic, comedy & variety. Your front-row seat starts here.
The Really Big Magic Show: International Gala is the kind of evening that only happens once a year — when the world's most extraordinary performers share a single stage and anything feels possible.
Your hosts for the night are Keith Fields and Lady Sarah — a World Champion Street Magician, Magic Circle Close-Up Magician of the Year, and Inner Magic Circle Gold Star member paired with an award-winning speaker, author, and self-described English eccentric who sounds like she stepped straight out of Downton Abbey. Together they bring warmth, wit, and an effortless command of the room that will keep the evening moving from the first moment to the last.
Then come the performers. Artem Shchukin — FISM World Champion of Magic, European Champion, and IBM Gold Medal winner — brings the kind of breathtaking manipulation artistry that earned him magic's highest honors. The fact that he's performing at the IBM convention where he first won gold makes this moment something special. Andi Gladwin, co-founder of Vanishing Inc., the world's largest magic company, and the subject of the 2026 Tribeca Festival documentary Stealing Magic, delivers close-up sleight of hand that has taken him from presidential inaugurations to Penn & Teller's green room — where he left having fooled them. And Paige Thompson — a triple threat in illusion, stage, and close-up magic — brings the inventive, deeply personal style that has made her a fan favorite everywhere from the Chicago Magic Lounge to the Penn & Teller: Fool Us stage.
