"The progress of the art of magic depends upon the magicians who do more than their share; those who are content to tread the beaten path are doing nothing towards their own advancement or that of magic."
- Jean Hugard, Hugard's MAGIC Monthly, February 1951

We're Glad You Found Us!

Welcome to Hollywood Ring 21.

We truly value your membership and wholeheartedly welcome you into the fold of the "Caryl Fleming Ring" of the International Brotherhood of Magicians. 

Ring 21 History

Hollywood IBM Ring 21 was first chartered in the spring of 1938 and named after local magician and charter member Caryl Fleming. Ironically, Caryl Fleming died of a heart attack while onstage performing a card trick. His name is Swedish, and therefore pronounced Carl.

Some of our more famous Ring 21 members have included; Floyd Thayer, Caryl Fleming, Chester Morris, Arnold Furst, Harold Robbins, William Larsen, Sr., The Great Leon, Mark Wilson, Daryl and a host of other well-known professional Los Angeles magicians too numerous to name.

Our Events Actively Involve Our Members

Our monthly activities, lectures, workshops, pre-meeting seminars, and highly interactive magic themes are geared to the amateur to professional prestidigitator, in order to assist in continuously promoting the practice and enjoyment of the ancient Art of magic.

Quite simply, our goal is to get people out of their seats and actively participating in the performance and learning of our craft.

Essentially, we our philosophy is that meetings for actively involving our membership. We are performers, not spectators. Therefore, we gather to exercise, display, learn, perform, enjoy and participate.

Annual Picnic & Halloween Fundraising Magic Show

Annually we enjoy a picnic in July, a swap meet in September, an installation banquet in October and ring in the holidays with a potluck, magic show and gift exchange each December.

We produce an annual fundraising Halloween Magic Show benefiting both Monlux Elementary School and Ring 21, presenting a grand opportunity for our magician members to perform for a live audience or work behind the scenes. Both fantastic opportunities to participate in a Ring activity.

Magic is a Visual Art; Meant to be Shared!

Having produced three fundraising magic shows for Monlux Elementary, Ring 21 has enjoyed a unique opportunity to keep the interest in magic alive-and-well in the hearts and minds of people. Magic is a visual art; meant to be shared.

Our annual Monlux Halloween fundraiser creates a unique occasion for us to display our magical talents, allows for maximum member involvement either behind-the-scenes or onstage, shares the joy of the Art of magic, and benefits both school and Ring monetarily.

In short, it is truly a rewarding event on a multitude of levels.
