L'ILLUSIONISTA 1890-91 prima serie completa

IL progetto che vi presentiamo ha, tra l'altro lo scopo di conservare e trasmettere opere classiche della Prestigiazione che altrimenti andrebbero perdute. E' con gioia quindi che vi presentiamo la digitalizzazione della prima serie di quella che fu la prima rivista di Prestigiazione pubblicata nel nostro paese!

"L'ILLUSIONISTA"

Pubblicata a Genova dall' agosto 1890 all'aprile 1891. Come esso stesso si definisce: " Periodico mensile di Prestidigitazione unico in Italia che si occupi esclusivamente di tale materia". Il periodico fu edito...

Martin Breese purchased the copyright to the Magic Wand many years ago. He intended to issue material from the magazine in book form and was little to know, at the time, of the advent of digital publishing and ebooks.

The Magic Wand was first published in September 1910 and continued for 256 issues until December of 1957. It began as a monthly magazine and after a decade it was published quarterly. It was edited by George Munro who was succeeded by George Armstrong. It is rare and very hard to find a complete run. The most valuable issues are those containing the serial publication of The Annals of Conjuring. ...
