On Tuesday, October 25th Ryan Pilling ventures back... Inside The Ring!

Each month Ryan digs through the archives of The Linking Ring magazine to find the hidden gems of magic buried within those pages. He dusts them off, polishes them up, and lets them shine! It's a show about "new" old ideas and the magicians who came up with them.
 
Showtime will be October 25th at 6 PM Pacific, 9 PM Eastern. It will be broadcast live on the I.B.M. Facebook page where you can watch and participate in the chat.
