About The GPMN
 

THE WEBSITE
The Greater Pittsburgh Magic Network (GPMN) is an independent website, founded in 1996 by magician Nicholas Carifo and operated today by magician Rich Howard, with the key purpose of organizing information for Pittsburgh's magical arts community and helping to promote all magic events throughout the Greater Pittsburgh Area.
 

GPMN MAGIC CLUB ALLIANCE
In addition, the magic organizations in the Pittsburgh Area have chosen to affiliate themselves with the GPMN Website by organizing an official alliance between three separate local magic clubs:

The Mystic Magicians of Beaver Valley
SAM Assembly #157

The International Brotherhood of Magicians
IBM Tampa Ring #13

The Society of American Magicians
SAM Assembly #018

This "magic club alliance", also referred to as the GPMN, was established to combine the efforts and resources of each organization to tri-sponsor magic events in the Pittsburgh Area and to combine the overlapping membership rosters of these organizations to host social events such as banquets, parties, and picnics in centrally-located venues.

Each of these three organizations continue to operate as separate entities with meetings held once a month in various locations.  Also, within a short distance of the GPMN area you can find these great magic clubs:

The International Brotherhood of Magicians
IBM Ring #158 - Greensburg, PA

The International Brotherhood of Magicians
IBM Ring #2 - Youngstown, OH

The Magic Venturers Group
Affiliated with The Boy Scouts of America

Although membership in any of these organizations is not necessarily required to attend many of the area's magic events, all magic enthusiasts are invited to apply for membership in each of these clubs. Information can be found in the MAGIC CLUBS section of this website.
