How To Join
Thank you for your interest in our Magical Brotherhood. Here is some information on the Invisible Lodge Int’l (ILI).
The Invisible Lodge International is a two fold organization. To be a member you must meet certain criteria when you apply for membership. It just happens that as a result of dual membership requirements the ILI is a unique organization and one of a kind in the world. First, you must be a Master Mason having current Blue Lodge status. You then must prove, to satisfaction of the ILI Directorate Board, that you are a Magician or a pursuer of an allied art form. This may be as a professional, semi-professional or amateur in the magic or related arts and show relationship and show ties through performance, authorship, collector or membership in an International, National or Regional oriented organization.
The Invisible Lodge International was founded by Sir Felix Korim, a well known stage Illusionist in 1953. The organization has now passed it’s 60th Anniversary and in 2004 held its first International Convention in Fort Smith, Arkansas. As a Masonic Magician you join the ranks of known Brothers such as Harry Houdini, Alexander Hermann, Harry Kellar, Howard Thurston, Dante. Known ILI Brothers include Lee Grabel, John Calvert, Harry Blackstone Sr., Peter Reveen, Sid Radner, Carl Balentine, and Herb Zarrow.
The ILI meets at the various Magic Conventions around the world. There is an initiation ceremony that you can participate in at any time and at any ILI meeting around the world.
