Our Banners & Buttons

We offered a selection of banners and buttons that fellow magicians, societies, and supporters could use to link back to Irish Magic News from their own websites. These graphics helped spread the word about Irish magic news and events across the wider community.

Website owners were welcome to download and use these graphics to link to irishmagicnews.com. The site was run by magician Brendan Byrne, who also performed children's magic as Billy Bubbles — visit magician.ie for more.

Irish Magic News published its final post on 2 February 2016. These banners remain as a record of the site's contribution to the Irish magic community.

For those who build and maintain magic-related websites, sharing a simple graphic link is a small but meaningful way to support the wider Irish magic community. Banners and buttons tucked into sidebars, footer areas, or resource pages helped visitors discover news about Irish magicians, lectures, conventions, and society gatherings with a single click. Even a modest website could contribute to the reach of Irish magic by offering these compact visuals, making it easier for fellow enthusiasts to stay informed about upcoming events, recent articles, and society announcements across Ireland. The spirit behind such graphics was always one of mutual support among magicians and magic organisations, reinforcing the sense of connection that makes the community so welcoming.

The tradition of sharing banner graphics and link buttons reflects a broader, long-standing practice within the magic world of helping one another gain visibility. Whether a professional performer based in Dublin, a Belfast-based enthusiast, or a magic society organising its next lecture or convention, every participant benefits when information flows freely. These simple visual tools encouraged cross-linking between websites dedicated to Irish magic, from society pages to individual performer sites, and helped new visitors find their way to reliable news and event listings. It is this spirit of cooperation, built on shared enthusiasm for the art of magic, that keeps the Irish magic scene vibrant and well connected both at home and abroad.
