The Magic Mirror is the official magic periodical of the Australian Society of Magicians.
It started on January 15, 1909 as an eight page printed magazine edited by Carl Orton Williams. It was the first magic magazine in the Southern hemisphere.
J. Albert Briggs assumed editorship from H. F. Cohen in September 1921 (Vol 5, No. 8).
There was some dissension in the Society, so the Mirror ceased with Vol. 5, No. 8 (Dec. 1921) and Briggs started an independent Australian magazine The Conjurer in 1922.
