This is a biting parody of the famous weekly UK magazine Abracadabra. The parody was published by Geoff Maltby of Repro Magic. It was a supplement to one of the Club 71 issues in 1988. To understand all the fun they are poking at you will have to have read some of the Abra issues.

This is a biting parody of the UK magic magazine Budget, the organ of the British Ring of the IBM. The parody was published by Geoff Maltby of Repro Magic. It was a supplement to one of the Club 71 issues in 1989. To understand all the fun they are poking at you will have to have read some of the Budget issues.

This is a parody of an IBM convention program. The parody was published by Geoff Maltby of Repro Magic. It was a supplement to one of the Club 71 issues in 1991. If you have attended your fair share of conventions you will probably laugh a lot. I am not sure why this is in particular targeted at the IBM. Less than well organized conventions are not limited to any organization.

This house organ ran from May 1919 until February 1940. Each issue had 8 pages and was mostly filled with ads for items Hutchinson retailed. However most issues also included a trick contribution or effect (see below for the list of contents). The most interesting contribution is Graham Adams' Card Work, a series of his favorite effects, moves and in particular his take and fondness of Erdnase.

In 1906 Houdini released his own magic publication the Conjurers' Monthly Magazine. It was short-lived and in large part an organ for Houdini to voice his personal opinions and grievances. Nevertheless, several historically important and interesting articles can be found in this magazine.

Magic is dead; it is the magician's responsibility to persuade his spectators to believe otherwise.

Each issue will focus on a different area of the art teaching new exclusive and related close-up magic effects. Each volume will be packed with professional insight, teachings and guidance with full training in sleight-of-hand. Subterfuge, deception...
