About F.A.M.E.
Florida Association of Magical Entertainers
I.B.M. Ring 170 was started by Don Masters on June 5, 1962 and was active for 3 years. The club was dormant for the next 10 years. Bev Bergeron reactivated the club in 1974. It is called F.A.M.E. - I.B.M. Ring 170. In 2014 S.A.M.99 merged with I.B.M. Ring 170 to include all magicians.
Combined Magic Club
Our club is officially recognized by two national magic organizations. The International Brotherhood of Magicians and
The Society of American Magicians
Club President - David Freeman
I am honored to have been chosen to serve as president of the Florida Association of Magical Entertainers (F.A.M.E.)/IBM Ring 170/SAM Assembly 99. Our membership comprises fledgling amateurs to seasoned professionals in every aspect of magic--sleight of hand, parlor, stage, and grand illusion. In addition, we have world-class magical scholars, historians, creators, and builders. It is my hope to foster an atmosphere that speaks to this broad community while keeping to our shared mission to encourage excellence and ethics in (and enjoyment of) the Art of Magic.
