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 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.
