'''Looking Glass''' was a quarterly magic magazine written and edited by [[Richard Kaufman]], [[Stephen Hobbs]], and [[Jon Racherbaumer]], published by Richard Kaufman. Four issues were released between early 1996 and the end of 1998 before the magazine ceased publication because of Kaufman's duties as editor and publisher of the newly-purchased [[Genii]]. '''The Looking Glass''' contained new and novel close-up magic of the kind that elevated [[Richard's Almanac]] more than a decade earlier, as well as reviews and discussions on books, videos and marketed tricks of the day.

Hingston originally intended for the medical profession but launched into a literary career writing for various magazines including Chambers London Journal.

Between 1856 and 1863 Hingston worked for the "Wizard of the North", John Henry Anderson, on tours of Australia and the United States as agent and general manager. Hingston was as great a magician with his pen  as the Wizard of the North was with his wand. Much of Anderson's success could be attributable to Hingston flowery language used in advertisements that appear in papers and billboards displaying tempting word pictures.

In the book "Travels and Adventures of Dr. Lynn", it tells about a practical joke played upon Brigham Young, during a visit to Salt Lake City, Utah, in 1864 which was assisted by Hinston.
