Stephen Hobbs' Labyrinth Magazine

Postby Richard Kaufman » June 13th, 2013, 10:44 pm

I have a full set of 12 issues (limited to 100 copies and never reprinted) which includes the two-part issue eight.

Anyone know what it's worth?

Doesn't anyone have an idea of the value of this set?

You know, if a publisher of magic books were to compile a set of this journal and reprint it as a book, I'd sure buy it.

Wasn't there a guy who did this once, reprinted Swami/Mantra, Talisman, Richard's Almanac, Stanyon's Magic . . . . .

Maybe he could do it.

Hobbs won't allow the material to be reprinted in book form. I asked him about it years ago.

One of the reasons Hobbs is unlikely to reprint Labyrinth as a book is because a lot of the material was from Steve Mayhew, and later this year Stephen Minch (that's three Steves in one sentence!) is scheduled to publish a compilation of Steve Mayhew's card magic. (I compiled/wrote this book). Of course all of Mayhew's stuff from Labyrinth (which is substantial percentage) will be included in the book in updated/rewritten form. It's a really fun book with a lot of great material. I'm very excited about it.

It's hard to say what a full run of Labyrinth is worth because complete files so rarely come up for sale.

When Hobbs made the decision not to reprint Labyrinth, it was early in its run, decades before any of the contributors contemplated making a book in which most of their contributions would appear.
