| Beginnings: Cincinnati has always been a hotbed for magic as evidenced by such notable names as Stewart Judah, John Braun, Lester Lake, and John Snyder. Early on Ring 71 met at John Snyder's magic shop in nearby Norwood, its name honoring W.W. Durbin, the first elected IBM President from Kenton, Ohio. When J. Ronald Haines purchased the shop from Snyder's widow and moved the business to his residence, the club began meeting there. Although the location has changed several times, the club still holds get-togethers at Haines to this day. Ring 71 became the J. Ronald Haines - W.W. Durbin Ring in 1974 and soon after began meeting in the shop's showroom. By the mid-nineties the club had increased in size and moved to the newly remodeled backroom, an "inner sanctum" for members of all ages. In a sense Ring 71 has come full circle. This current meeting room is located on the original site of John Snyder's magic shop, where magic continues to flourish monthly.
