Magazines & Journals in Magic & Conjuring: page 45

This was the house organ of Ireland Magic Co. which later became Magic Inc. It started in 1957 with a regular bimonthly publishing schedule but then became irregular. The last of 45 issues, volume 4 number 9 was published in 1988. Being a house organ there are of course lots of product advertisements but it also includes news, interesting photos, comments, trick patter and presentations, reviews, quips, tips, and other things about tricks and magicians.

In the first issue, Frances and Jay wrote:

EFFECTS

The issue starts out with Darned Pain in the Neck by Paul Gordon, a fun ace-spelling routine that goes wrong all the way until it goes right.

Then, learn Scott Baird's Fabulous Jumping Jokers, which is a different sort of take on a Ken Krenzel mystery card routine from The Collected Almanac.

Kyle Leon shares Predetermined Roll, a predicted card routine that is so fair it uses imaginary dice.

The Unknown Future by John Carey is a direct and to-the-point mystery card routine, originally published in his book Me, My Cards, and I.

Jason Connolly shares an ace-cutting routine with a triumph phase...

EFFECTS

The issue starts out with Joke Matrix by Scott Baird, a one-card and four-coin assembly effect based on the work of Shoot Ogawa.

Then, learn Michael Rubinstein's Purse Transpo Surprise, which is a copper/silver transposition routine using a purse with a big finish.

Max Sterling discontinued his weekly magic journal The Magical World in May 1911. After two years he restarted it for another period less than a year long. This second series from June 14th, 1913 until February 4th, 1914, is included in this PDF, 582 pages. It is not easy to publish a weekly conjuring periodical.
