Conjurers' Monthly Magazine was a Magic Periodical by Harry Houdini that only ran for two volumes from September 1906 until August 1908 as a competitor to the Sphinx.
The magazine touted Houdini's importance to the world of magic, gossip about magicians he did not like and criticism of his imitators.
The series, "Unknown Facts concerning Robert-Houdin" and "Robert-Houdin's Place in the History of Magic", ran for twelve
issues which later became a book, The Unmasking of Robert-Houdin.
Houdini also wrote under the pseudonym "N. Osey", as the European Correspondent (which he had previously been doing for Mahatma.[1]
