We are a group of magicians who bring wonderment to residents of the Fox Valley area; including Green Bay, Appleton, and Neenah. We are called a “Ring,” which is magic jargon for a local magic club that is affiliated with more than three hundred other “Rings” of the International Brotherhood of Magicians.
Whether you are seeking to hire a magician for your upcoming event, are interested in possibly becoming a “Ring” member, would like to learn a simple magic trick, or are just curious about magic activity in the region… you are in the right place.
We welcome anyone to check out our meetings for free!
Mission Statement
The Dr. Lynn Miner Ring 398 provides all students of magic, regardless of age or skill level, with high-quality magic education experiences in a safe place for their achievement, discovery and serious play.
This is what we believe in. This is what we are all about. We hope to see you at a Ring meeting – soon. We’ve reserved a chair with your name on it.
Vision Statement
Our vision is to help each Ring member realize their own best potential, not only as magic artists and performers but also as whole people. To accomplish this vision, we offer live and online learning opportunities for all of our magic members to learn practical lessons and hands-on training in all areas of the art of magic.
