The purpose of www.magicmagazine.com is to offer a sampling of what is appearing in the current issue of our monthly magazine. There is also our "WebSource" page, that is just that — a resource for web contacts that are appearing in the issue. Also, we will also occasionally "reprint" material that relates to a current issue. We hope all of this will pique your interest enough to join our ever-growing family of subscribers.

MAGIC is celebrating its 16th year of publication, and we're very proud of being recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest-selling magic periodical in the world. Each month, our readers receive an average of 122 pages filled with:

FEATURE STORIES that cover a complete spectrum of the art, from profiles of the famous to the obscure, from historical retrospectives to predictions of the future, plus reports on some of the best (and worst) shows you'll ever see.

IN-DEPTH INTERVIEWS with the most interesting people in our field, such as David Blaine, Martin Gardner, Bob Fitch, David Ben, Penn & Teller, Marvyn Roy... to name a few.

GREAT NEW TRICKS are included each month in our tutorial section. Joshua Jay's "Talk About Tricks" column offers outstanding close-up effects from some of the most creative minds in magic. David Kaye continues is highly acclaimed series of new routines for the family entertainer. Plus specialized series from Kevin James (platform), Andy Nyman and Anthony Owen (mentalism), Flicking Fingers (close-up), and more.

PLUS up-to-the-minute news, timely and honest product reviews, and editorials on all the hot topics.

We are very proud of the team of Contributing Editors and Columnists that create the magic on these pages each month: Tobias Beckwith, Trixie Bond, Peter Duffie, David Britland, Mike Caveney, David Charvet, Gabe Fajuri, The Flicking Fingers, Charlie Frye, Martin Gardner, Brad Henderson, Alan Howard, Joshua Jay, Rory Johnston, David Kaye, David Parr, Peter Studebaker.
