Latest revision as of 07:49, 22 January 2016

Magicana was a magic newsletter started by Bill Woodfield in 1946 as a "A Trade Paper for Magicians," and became part of Genii starting in 1948.

Charlie Miller took over and called it Magicana New Series from 1964 to 1978.

When Richard Kaufman became the publisher/editor of Genii in 1998, he revived the Magicana section and began writing it himself. Earle Oakes was brought on as illustrator. Joshua Jay guest-wrote one Magicana in 1999 (the August 1999 issue) before becoming the writer/editor of the Talk About Tricks column in MAGIC magazine. David Acer took over writing Magicana in 2005, starting with the May 2005 issue.

Andy Gladwin took over the duties in 2015.

Other guest writers for Magicana during the Kaufman era include The Flicking Fingers (August 2000), David Ben (August 2006), Jon Racherbaumer (August 2008) and David Regal (June 2009).

Magicana Columnists from 1998 to Present

  • ACER, David (Confessions of a Road Warrior) (21 columns that ran intermittently from February 2000 to September 2007. Counterposed anecdotes or road stories with close-up magic.
  • BRITLAND, David (Cardopolis). First column ran in February 2010. Card magic.
  • BURGER, Eugene (Our Magical Art). Theory. Column alternated between Magicana section (e.g., June 2000) and Intermission section (e.g., August 2002).
  • FARMER, Bob (Flim-FlaMagic). Close-Up/scams.
  • GOLDSTEIN, Phil (The Other Month). Mentalism.
  • JENNINGS, Larry (The Jennings Tapes), written by Richard Kaufman. Cards. Column debuted in the January 1999 issue. [from the column masthead] "Late at night, the great Larry Jennings would sit in his den and talk at length, explaining the ingenious magic he had created that day. Only a cassette recorder heard his words... Before dying in October 1997 he gave many of those tapes to your editor. Readers of Genii (his favorite magic magazine) now have a chance to eavesdrop on the thoughts and tricks of one of the most prolific and creative magicians of the latter half of the 20th century."
  • JERMAY, Luke (The New Mind). 6 columns that ran intermittently from July 2007 to January 2009. Mentalism.

  • LORAYNE, Harry (Hidden Gems). 12 installments that ran intermittently from the January 2007 issue to the March 2009 issue. Column focused on previously published tricks the author favored that might have been overlooked.
  • MAVEN, Max (Lost Horizons). Projected series along the lines of Harry Lorayne's Hidden Gems column, featuring a selection of previously published tricks the author favors that might have been overlooked. First installment ran in the January 2010 issue
  • ORLEANS, Danny (Pediatrix). Children's Magic/Theory. Alternated between Intermission section (e.g., Genii May 2001) and Magicana section (e.g., Genii June 2000).
  • RICHARDSON, Barrie (From My Thoughts). Mentalism
  • SANKEY, Jay (Sankey’s Secrets). Close-up. Three installments, all in 2003.
