Search engine

Is there a search engine for Genii magazine? I printed a trick years ago in Genii and want to buy that issue and was wondering how to find that issue.

Unfortunately, the Genii archive's own search function remains nearly unusable.

This requires creating a free account, but I end up using the Magic Knowledge Base Search page at Lybrary.com:
https://www.lybrary.com/account_knowledge_base.php

That gets me to the right (or a promising) page, and then I can use the Genii archive to view the whole page.

Your trick "Red Rising" appears in the Sept 2011 Genii.

And you can buy that issue HERE.

I use the search function. It's not great, but it does seem to work.

Chris,

There's an online index of all the Genii Magazine issues from the Kaufman era (starting from January 1999) that I keep updated on a monthly basis. Some years ago, the Chief Genii granted permission to make it public (other than investing quite some time to keep it up-to-date, I make no profit at all) so that anyone interested could make good use of it.

The index can be found here: http://genii.somee.com/ (or you can just Google "Genii index"). Just type "Randall" in the field "Person" and you'll get what you are looking for (Red rising, page 18, September 2011 issue).

Hope this helps.

Alfred's index (see his post earlier in this thread) is a fantastic resource that deserves to be better known. Many thanks to Alfred for making this available!

I'm glad you find it useful David. Since I look for articles pusblished in the magazine quite frequently, the index has proven really useful for me and I hope it will also be for anybody else (thanks again to Richard for allowing the online version of the index).

I'm aware that it could be improved by adding all the previous issues (Philippe Billot has kindly offered his personal spreadsheet index) but I find it quite time-consuming to do: pre-Kaufman issues feature more unstructured content, making it difficult to add it to the (highly structured) underlying database. Right now I'm commited to keep it up-to-date on a monthly basis... not sure if I will be able to add pre-Kaufman issues though.

Thanks again for your feedback!
