International Magicians Society

International Magicians Society

The International Magicians Society (IMS) is the world's largest magic society as recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records. The IMS began in 1968 and now has over 37,000 members worldwide. It was created to help promote and preserve the art of magic and provide a format where magicians (and magic hobbyists) could share their secrets and ideas.

The IMS named Sigfried and Roy as the Magicians of the Century in 2000 and named David Copperfield, Doug Henning, Harry Blackstone Jr., Criss Angel and David Blaine as the most influential magicians of the past 25 years. The organization awards the Merlin Awards for excellence in magic each year.
