INSIDE THE CURRENT ISSUES OF GENII, MAGIC & MUM
The magic community has several monthly publications that you may find of interest in addition to our own world famous Linking Ring Journal. The monthly magic information flow covers literally hundreds of pages in both the printed word, pictures and graphics. Like The Linking Ring (members can read past issues on line) you can find fascinating historical accounts, the latest innovation from the masters of prestidigitation and thoughtful insight from experts in the art of legerdemain and hocus pocus. Here is a thumbnail sketch of what is available in print this month. (read more...)

This Month in Magic Magazine • JULY 2008
by Stan Allen (Cover Designed by: Chris Sieracki)
Here are the feature stories in the August issue of MAGIC Magazine
In His Words: Brett Daniels by Stan Allen
Brett Daniels' theatrical magic murder-mystery show, Wohscigam, became a casualty of Las Vegas. Insurmountable problems plagued the shows short run, and nearly ruined it's creator and star.
Footnotes From the Overground by Ricky Smith
Daniel Garcia's magic is clever, creative, and in demand. Ricky Smith calls him "a master of the overground." If that's not all you need to know, he's also provided some explanatory notes.
America's Got Schadenfreude by Dan Stapleton, Becky Blaney, and Bizzaro
It seems that people love to watch others at their worst, and American television is happy to create that opportunity. Take a peek with these magicians at the reality behind "reality TV."
The Man Who Made Ice Famous by David Ben, Peter Isaacs, and Dr. Stephen Rogers
Frank Van Hoven may have been the first to bill himself as "comedy magician." He went from struggling conjuror to one of the highest paid acts in vaudeville, thanks in part to some kids from the audience and a large block of ice.
Angela Funovits: Twenty-Year-old Phenomenon by Mark Paskell
The youngest mentalist on Phenomenon, and the only woman to compete, nearly walked off with top honors, and that was just the start.
A Leprechaun's Legacy by Max Maven
Billy McComb not only lived a life of magic, he saved nearly all of it. Now, family heirlooms and magical curiosities alike are headed for the auction block.
The Olympic Rings by Patrick Martin
You don't have to attend the summer games in Beijing to experience Olympic fever. While the whole world is talking about the events, what better symbol to include in your Linking Rings routine than the Olympic logo?
