I have not gone to a local meeting, I wasn't sure if nonmembers were permitted. It is a good idea, however, if I can find one I'll definitely check it out.I highly recommend anyone that is serious about magic become a member of the IBM. The knowledge and feedback you can get from members of your local ring can be extremely valuable. That alone I think justifies the yearly dues but then you also get access to the monthly Linking Ring magazine, the now have an online only version though I still prefer a hardcopy of it, and access to all the back issues via Ask Alexander. It is a great resource when developing new routines.
Have you been out to a local ring meeting yet?
