Welcome to MagicPedia,

MagicPedia is a free wiki-style online encyclopedia dedicated to the techniques and history of magic that anyone can edit.

MagicPedia is the definitive Internet repository of magical techniques for all areas of the magical arts and also a way to document the history of magic.

MagicPedia is not a place to post explanations of magic tricks (though performances of sleights and tricks are welcome via embedded video clips), but a living document, always in flux, that reflects the background knowledge required for a thorough study of the art of magic in all its facets.

MagicPedia is owned and operated by Genii, The Conjurors' Magazine.
