The Sphinx Index is a 540 page PDF, indexing all 52 volumes of The Sphinx magazine. Three people worked for hundreds of hours to collect and categorize this information. It has more than 14,000 entries. The index covers all tricks, effects and articles, but does not include assembly reports and other short trip reports or news items. An interesting category is Portraits & Photos where all photos are indexed by the name of the person shown in the photo. This makes it easy to find image information about hundreds of magicians. The other index categories are: Articles - Biographical, Articles - Historical, Articles...

Racherbaumer, a man of words - sometimes strong words, sometimes exotic words, sometimes provocative words, sometimes strange words - but always thoughtful and worth reading, wrote a two year column in The Greater Son of the Bat Jr. journal (S.O.B.jr.). All 24 installments of this column are collected here. You will find a lot of Marlo-vian talk, good tricks and interesting articles. I was not a magician in the late 70s, so I cannot say how it was back then in the 'good old times', but reading Sticks and Stones allowed me to imagine how - I am sure - it must have been.

Enigma is a DVD magic magazine. It is a family production of Chuck "Stylesmith" Smith and his son Chris Smith. Both are professionals in the video production business and both are magic enthusiasts.

The real value of Enigma for me personally is that I can see how some of the most recognized people in magic really are. We are invited to the homes of magic collectors or Chuck sits down for a chat with performers, dealers and other luminaries. It is a video record of our community. In a few years these discs will be highly sought after because they will hold some unique clips of people we cherish...

The title of this ebook is misleading. It is not a compilation of the best effects from Feen-X magazine, but rather a completely new 24 issue magazine Gregg Webb created from 2010 to 2012. Better think of it as a continuation of Feen-X. The name stems from the fact that Gregg does revisit some of the best plots and ideas from Feen-X, but not to repeat them, but to update and improve on them. And of course, there are also completely new ideas.

It is hard to categorize this ebook. Gregg's ideas span a big arch from close-up to stage, from cards, coins and other daily items, to mental magic, gaffs, gimmicks and...

This magazine ran from October 1989 until January 1998 - a total of 100 issues and 1440 pages. It includes news, advice, interviews, reviews, performer profiles and a lot more. You will not find that many tricks in it, but the guest columns by Australian and international performers are great. Editor in chief was Tim Ellis. It is a great way to learn more about the magic scene in Australia during that time.

1st digital edition 2015, 1443 pages.

If you encounter something called the Magic Omnibook, then these are simply repackaged issues of Magic is Fun. I have found one where issues #1 and #2, without their covers, were stapled into one new bluish-violet cover with the title "Magic Omnibook" and a price of 25c.
