Statement from the Incoming President

I am proud to take over as this year’s President of the PMA Chapter, Ring 48 - THE HAROLD MARTIN RING. My special thanks to outgoing President “Phenomenal” Phil Raso and his leadership team for an exciting and magical 2022. They have set the stage for an even better, more productive year at our club.

First, we again will be performing at the Heart of Illinois Fair. This will be our eighth year performing there. This past year's turnout at the Fair was exceptional and we performed magic for many visitors. Stay tuned as we further expand and announce this year’s event.

I am also pleased to announce that this year will be our tenth year performing at the Peoria Riverfront Marketplace throughout the summer. We perform there every other Saturday morning and if you haven’t attended this event, you should make sure to come down this year because it is really worth it.

Our banquet will be on April 22, 2023, at Fairview Farms which is rapidly approaching. Our featured master comedy magicians this year are award-winning Jesus Rios from Iowa and Chris Bontjes, past President of the Society of American Magicians. 

2023 will prove to be an extraordinarily strong year for our club. Many new things are in the hopper. We will be sure to update you as we add more exciting events to our upcoming season.
