FISM FISM FISM! The biggest coverage of FISM is in Genii.
Join us for as little as $35 a year at http://www.geniimagazine.com and get digital access to every issue of both Genii and MAGIC ever published.
We want to thank you for your patience as we struggle to come to terms with the sudden death of our beloved office manager, Donna Lucas. For the past five years she has done yeoman service in running all aspects of Genii and keeping our affairs in order. While we are searching for someone to take over the responsibilities of her job, things may be slightly delayed here and there, and we may not respond to your phone calls or emails as quickly as we would normally like. Please bear with us over the next three to four weeks. You will continue to receive the magazine (both digital and paper) on time as normal.
The giant double October/November issue has arrived, and features FISM, FISM, and more FISM. Grand Prix winners Simon Coronel (close-up) and Laurent Piron grace our cover. Inside, we cover every show, talk, and lecture, and Craig Mitchell tells you about each and every contestant at the World Championships of Magic. To go along with the stories, Genii has more photos of the event than any other publication. We also have a special piece on Simon Coronel (World Champion of Micro Magic, and winner of the aforementioned Grand Prix) and Shoot Ogawa (World Champion of Parlour Magic), who were sponsored by Max Maven and The Magic Castle.
Speaking of The Magic Castle, we also cover the first post-pandemic (live) AMA Awards Reception where 20 individuals were honored and special awards were given. One of those individuals was Max Maven, receiving his well-deserved Masters Fellowship, the AMA’s highest honor.
Next, Richard Kaufman fills you in on all the new Tenyo products for 2023. Along with that, Yuki Kadoya covers the first post-pandemic (live) Tenyo Festival which was held in Tokyo.
The summer of ’22 was not kind to magic. Mike Caveney remembers his friend (and ours) Martin Lewis. Arthur Trace shares his memories of Aye Jaye, and, in “The Genii Speaks,” I tell you a bit about Bob Self.
“The Eye” by Vanessa Armstrong has six pages of news, and John Gaughan’s “Chamber of Secrets” features “Astarte,” an amazing illusion from magic’s storied past and, you might be surprised to know, recent past. Shawn McMaster focuses on the AMA’s terrific Junior Society in “Knights at The Magic Castle.”
Rafael Benatar joins Genii as a new columnist. In his “Thoughts … ” he looks at practice. David Kaye asks (and answers) a thought-provoking question in “Expert at the Kids’ Table.” And of course we have a lot of magic in this issue. Jonathan Friedman dishes up two items in “Magicana.” Roberto Mansilla’s “Artifices” has the finale to his routine for the spongeballs. In “Exhumations,” Jon Racherbaumer digs up a magical ditty that pits the mathematician, psychic, and the magician against each other in a single card trick. Finally—as far as the magic goes—David Britland will have you not fearing the Pass with “Raynaly’s Sandwich” in this month’s “Cardopolis.”
“Light from the Lamp” has David Britland reviewing books, Mark Phillips with the newest tricks, and Joe M. Turner on videos. There is all that and more, and it’s all on the inside. Come and join us.
