Come inside and join us for as little as $35 a year at https://geniimagazine.com/ and get digital access to every issue of both Genii and MAGIC ever published.

The cover of the June issue of Genii, The Conjurors’ Magazine features Shimada, who died on April 30. One of the greatest magicians of his—or any other—generation, we tell you something about his life, career, and legacy.

Also inside this month, we have an exclusive addendum to John Buescher’s popular book Radio Psychics: Mind Reading and Fortune Telling in American Broadcasting, 1920-1940 (reviewed in this issue by David Britland) Mr. Buescher adds some characters who operated in Great Britain, thus casting his net “across the pond.”

Peter Samelson talks about his last engagement at one of the several venues around the country that feature magicians, Liberty Magic in Pittsburgh (yes, Pittsburgh).

In “The River,” Joshua Jay has an arts and crafts project for you. Jon Racherbaumer’s “Exhumations” shares a kind of “betcha.” You’ll find a double-prediction effect in David Britland’s “Cardopolis.” Roberto Mansilla talks about what turns the mundane into the artistic in “Artifices” (and we have video of René Lavand in the digital issue). In “Magicana,” Jonathan Friedman explains a quick coin to banknote effect and a little piece of mindreading(?) and magic with a deck of cards. Both can be viewed in performance via Video Magicana in the digital edition.

“The Eye” has news of celebrities—magic and otherwise. John Gaughan talks about a 104-year-old automaton in “Chamber of Secrets.” (Scan the accompanying QR code to see Gaston Decamps’ little conjuror at work.) David Kaye gets physical with sight gags in “Expert at the Kids’ Table.” And as usual we visit Hollywood with Shawn McMaster and “Knights at The Magic Castle.”

New products are reviewed in “Light from the Lamp” with Mark Phillips covering tricks, David Britland on books, and Joe M. Turner with videos. As the Ten-In-One talker says, come on in, it’s all on the inside.
