Visitor & Lecturer Guide

Irish Magic News provided a practical guide for magicians and lecturers travelling to Ireland. The guide helped visiting performers connect with local magic societies, find suitable venues, and understand the landscape of the Irish magic scene.

Ireland's magic community was spread across several active societies — including IBM Ring 85 in Belfast, the Society of Irish Magicians (SIM), the Ulster Society of Magicians (USM), and others. Each society welcomed visiting lecturers and performers, and many hosted regular lecture evenings and workshops.

International magicians who visited Ireland during the site's active years included Marc Paul, Sean Goodman, Dani DaOrtiz, Roberto Giobbi, and Fay Presto, among others. Their lectures and masterclasses were well attended by members of the Irish magic community.

For those planning a visit, the guide pointed to key contacts within each society and offered practical advice on travel, accommodation, and scheduling. The Irish Magic Societies directory complemented this guide with up-to-date listings of active groups across the island.

Visiting magicians were also encouraged to submit news of their upcoming Irish appearances so the wider community could be informed.
