We meet on the 4th Thursday of each month.<\/p>\n<p>This Ring was reactivated in the early 1970&#8217;s after a period of 10 or more years of inactivity. One of the first acts of the newly reorganized ring was to host the Southeastern Association of Magicians [SEAM] convention which had also fallen on &#8220;hard times&#8221;. This rejuvenated and re-inspired other rings in the southeast to continue the process. The SEAM is now a regular convention in the Southeastern US.<\/p>\n<p>The next step was the starting of the Winter Carnival of Magic in 1973 and this was a success from the beginning. There are several reasons this is so. The primary reason is that the convention has been a high quality production from the start, featuring top name performers for all shows and lectures. The entire convention format is a family oriented production. All ages, sexes, and interests are welcomed.<\/p>\n<p>If you are in the Knoxville area we welcome your attendance at our meetings! &#8211; We hope you will perform for us during your visit![\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space]<style type=\"text\/css\" data-type=\"the7_shortcodes-inline-css\">#default-btn-707428285aa9626fd437798544163b94.ico-right-side > i {\n  margin-right: 0px;\n  margin-left: 8px;\n}\n#default-btn-707428285aa9626fd437798544163b94 > i {\n  margin-right: 8px;\n}\n<\/style><div class=\"btn-align-center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ibmring58.com\/index.php\/about\/ring-reports\/\" class=\"default-btn-shortcode dt-btn dt-btn-l link-hover-off \" id=\"default-btn-707428285aa9626fd437798544163b94\" title=\"Ring Reports\"><span>View Ring Reports<\/span><\/a><\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;2716&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_shadow_border&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;2945&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_shadow_border&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;]<div class=\"ult-animation  ult-animate-viewport  ult-no-mobile \" data-animate=\"tada\" data-animation-delay=\"0\" data-animation-duration=\"3\" data-animation-iteration=\"1\" style=\"opacity:0;\" data-opacity_start_effect=\"\">[vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Watch Ring Member Don Cox give a brief history of Ring 58&#8243; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%23273973&#8243; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Montserrat%3Aregular%2C700|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal&#8221;]<\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_video link=&#8221;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=LrqhQNXIOsU&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;The History of Ring 58&#8243; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|font_size:45|text_align:center|color:%230f1f77&#8243; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Montserrat%3Aregular%2C700|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal&#8221;][vc_separator color=&#8221;black&#8221;][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]Ring 58 is located in Knoxville, Tennessee and serves the needs of magicians throughout the East Tennessee area.
