Discover the Legacy of The New Conjurors’ Magazine (5 Volumes)
Step into the enchanting world of magic with The New Conjurors’ Magazine, a historic publication that began its journey in the early 20th century. Initially launched as The New Conjurors’ Magazine, it dropped the “New” after its first issue, becoming a cornerstone in the magic community. This magazine was not just a publication; it was a movement, supported by none other than Hardeen, Houdini’s brother, who played a pivotal role in its inception before his untimely passing.
Recognized as the official organ for the Magician’s Guild of America, The Conjurors’ Magazine underwent significant transformations. In 1947, it was passed to Ed Dart, with Robert Lund stepping in as editor, while Gibson continued to contribute as a columnist. The magazine’s journey took a new turn when it was absorbed by Genii magazine in November 1949, marking the beginning of a new era as Genii, The Conjurors’ Magazine.
This fusion lasted until 1974, when it evolved into Genii The International Conjurors’ Magazine, a title it held until Richard Kaufman took the reins in January 1999. Kaufman initially simplified the title to Genii but later reverted to Genii, The Conjurors’ Magazine in July 1999, preserving its rich heritage.
- Historic Significance: A key publication in the magic community, supported by Houdini’s brother, Hardeen.

First advertised as The New Conjurors’ Magazine and dropped the word “New” after Vol 1, No. 1. Houdini’s brother, Hardeen, helped get this magazine launched, but he passed away shortly after the magazine started. It was selected as the official organ for the Magician’s Guild of America. It eventually changed hands to Ed Dart in 1947 (Volume 4, #10), with Robert Lund as editor (Gibson still continued as a columnist).
Genii magazine absorbed The Conjurors’ Magazine and from November, 1949 until 1974 as Genii became Genii, The Conjurors’ Magazine. It was eventually changed to Genii The International Conjurors’ Magazine with the May 1974 issue. It stayed that way until Richard Kaufman took over the magazine on January 1999. He changed it to just Genii then reverted back to Genii, The Conjurors’ Magazine with the July 1999 issue.
