2nd VP (Membership), James Thayer enjoys performing close-up magic. James has retired from a career as a software/systems engineer and has regressed 200 years to become captain of a topsail schooner.
Treasurer, Miguel Garcia has been practicing sleight of hand magic since he was about 8 years old. Fortuitously, he was in the right place at the right time to hear about the IBM and Ring 76. Joining the club opened doors of magical friendship, resources, and mentorship that he wouldn't have ever imagined. Aside from being an active magician, he is married to his wife Joyce and works in the technology / engineering industry as a Program Manager.
Secretary, Sherry Luft Sherry is a magic enthusiast and a member of Ring 76 for many years. She was one of the few female Presidents of Ring 76, and has also served as Vice President of Entertainment, Vice President of Membership, Secretary, Sergeant at Arms and Member at large. She is an I.B.M. Order of Merlin member (25 years of continuous membership).
Sergeant at Arms, Mark Booth has had a passion for Magic since 1963. He loves all types of Magic, but particularly likes close-up and parlor effects. As a hobbyist, he mostly performs for friends and family, and is interested in the History of Magic.
Member-at-Large, Gary Salisbury is the Ring 76 Librarian. He is/has been a member of the IBM, the SAM, and the Magic Castle. He started performing kid's shows and close-up but eventually turned to collecting and magic history. He loves magic prop building, restoration and repair, going to magic conventions, and meeting new people. He has used his acquired business skills to build the Ring 76 library into one of the largest in the IBM organization.
Member-at-Large, Misha Osinovskiy is a bewildering individual, a purveyor of traditional sleight of hand conjury and commissioner of perceivably fascinating enchantment. He has been known to put himself in peril for the prestidigitation of onlooking admirers. His actual whereabouts are unknowable, and seemingly his omnipresence is the eventuality of one's own woolgathering.
