The Magic Cauldron was a Magic Periodical for collectors published quarterly by F. William Kuethe, Jr. of Glen Burnie, Maryland. It was a small circulation dedicated to historians. Each issue usually came with a supplement of some type, including reproductions of rare paper items, tokens, etc.

Size: 7"x8 1/2"

Started with Number 2, February 1962 and concluded with Number 64 on June 1977. Supplements were included with the issues and consecutively numbered. Issue N2 was issued first, followed by N3, N1, N4, N5......

As the story goes, the publisher started with issues N2, then N3, then N1 to see if there was any interest in his new magazine. If there wasn't he would cease publication after N3 and make collector's always search for N1! The magazine did catch on for a total of 64 issues, spread out over a 15 year publication.
