The Jubilee was founded in 1956 by the Assembly 8 of St. Louis (the St. Louis chapter of Society of American Magicians (S.A.M.)), and Ring One St. Louis (the St. Louis chapter of International Brotherhood of Magicians (I.B.M.)). It originally switched locations each year from St. Louis to Kansas City, though currently its permanent home is in St. Louis, which is also the headquarters of both S.A.M.'s Assembly 8 and I.B.M.'s Ring One.
