'''The Conjuror's Magazine''' subtitled "or Magical and Physiognomical Mirror" by William Locke started as a [[Magic Periodical]] including everything from card tricks to occultism. Volumes one and two ran from  1791 to 1793. Astrology became such a major theme of its articles that it changed its name in August 1793 to the Astrologer's Magazine and ran for six more issues.  

It was the first periodical in which a group advertised themselves openly as workers of magic.
