Midwest Magic Jubilee is an annual magic convention held in Missouri.
History edit
This section may need to be rewritten to comply with Wikipedia's quality standards, as it's not clear how Assembly 8 relates to S.A.M., and Ring One to I.B.M. (November 2022) |
The Jubilee was founded in 1956 by the Assembly 8 of St. Louis (the St. Louis chapter of Society of American Magicians (S.A.M.)), and Ring One St. Louis (the St. Louis chapter of International Brotherhood of Magicians (I.B.M.)). It originally switched locations each year from St. Louis to Kansas City, though currently its permanent home is in St. Louis, which is also the headquarters of both S.A.M.'s Assembly 8 and I.B.M.'s Ring One.
Event edit
The Jubilee hosts between 150 and 250 attendees. It features a mix of magic lectures, demonstrations, and magic stage & close up competitions. Evening magic shows bring in professional magicians from all over North America, and dealers from all over the world.
