The May Issue of Genii will Soon be in Your Neighborhood

[Richard Kaufman]

The May 2010 issue of Genii, The Conjurors' Magazine, is now in the mail and starting to reach subscribers.

You don't want to miss our cover story on Suzanne, one of the most successful and beloved female close-up magicians in our field. Close-up magic has had few female participants compared to the number of males, and Suzanne, a student of Al Schneider's, is one of the best. Her appearances at The Magic Castle are always widely attended. She has a unique quality as a performer that's captured in our article.

Eugene Burger's column "The Showmanship Interviews" reappears after a hiatus, this time Eugene has a revealing and educational talk with Las Vegas star Mac King. Wise words from two wise men.

Jim Steinmeyer's "Conjuring" teaches "The Khardova Deck," a sleight-free way of performing "The Open Prediction" that will make you smile.

Max Maven explains one of his unique mental miracles in "Lost Horizons."

Al Cohen pops in with some more "Memories of a Magic Dealer."

Roberto Giobbi's "Genii Session" attacks an oft misquoted and misunderstood maxim of Robert-Houdin's, and in Roberto words, "A magician is NOT an actor playing the part of a magician." This might change the way you think about performing magic.

David Acer brings you a "Magicana" of excellent tricks, including the premier of a new column by Canadian mentalist Patrik Kuffs, which reveals a new method for "The Berglas Effect."

Jamy Ian Swiss reviews books (including Asi Winds new lecture note/DVD set); Dustin Stinett studies the latest videos (including "Devious" by Mike Close); and David Regal trips through the latest tricks.
