President

Philip Partridge is our current president

Thank you for bestowing the title of President of the International Brotherhood of Magicians, British Ring upon me. What an honour! Thank you also for welcoming my partner, Dr Steven Jan, to the British Ring magic community too; he thoroughly enjoyed his time in Eastbourne and attended ALL the lectures and shows!

Thank you for being a member of our illustrious institution. I greatly value you as a member and I greatly appreciate your attending, supporting, and promoting British Ring events. I am a full-time professional magician having gone full-time in 1997. I specialise in children’s entertainment and comedy magic. For further information please visit www.MagicPhilip.co.uk and www.MagicianManchester.co.uk. If you need any advice in these areas, please do not hesitate to contact me. If it is an area of magic which is not my speciality, I will recommend another professional colleague.

I am often asked how, as members, you can help your hard-working committee and convention team. My answers are:

• Attend a British Ring Event.
• Bring a magic friend.
• Bring a young magician who you perhaps mentor.
• Regularly promote the British Ring at your local magic club in person, online and in print.
• Volunteer your day-job expertise.
• Volunteer to be a Steward.
• Recruit new members.
• Contribute a review or article to the Key Ring.
• Consider entering the prestigious British Ring Stage and Close-up competitions.

My philosophy has always been – the more you put into an organisation, the more you get out.

We have lots to look forward to during my Presidential Year:

• Monthly Zoom chats
• The Key Ring magazine
• My Presidential Dinner with close-up magicians and magical variety cabaret. This is on Saturday 16 March 2024 at the Village Hotel, Cheadle Hulme, Manchester, SK8 1HW. Tickets will be on sale soon and I shall send an email with further information to all members.
• May 2024 British Ring Picnic
• 86^th British Ring Convention, Friday 13^th to Sunday 15^th September 2024

CHOOSE TO BE KIND.

Magically Yours Philip Partridge
