MAGIC Magazine News..
MAGIC Legacy
Stan Allen announced today that MAGIC Magazine will not be publishing the final 25 issues known as MAGIC Legacy. Unfortunately, the response was not strong enough to produce the magazines at a level befitting the end of an era. Stan thanked all of those who took the leap of faith with him, and assured them that they will receive a 100% refund, as well as their complimentary copy of Square One.
MAGIC Magazine
With Legacy cancelled, does that mean that MAGIC Magazine is over? Not exactly. Stan and his editorial team will produce one more issue — #301. If you are a current print subscriber, you will receive this final issue as part of your subscription, then a pro-rated refund for the balance of your subscription.
MAGIC Live!
It was also announced today that there will be a MAGIC Live next summer — August 13–16, 2017. And yes, that’s a year earlier than originally planned. It will be held once again at The Orleans in Las Vegas, with Alumni Registration opening November 30 and General Registration available on December 6, 2016.

That magicians would feel threatened by the revealing repercussions of the information age is understandable — but not inevitable. In fact, Jason Latimer, a world champion magician, scientist, and host of the new Thursday-night Comic-Con HQ series Impossible Science, which showcases scientists turning the fantastic into reality, argues that magic and science go hand in hand: Behind the smoke and mirrors, illusions are driven by mechanisms created by science; but more importantly, he says, the pursuit of scientific discovery is driven by the seemingly unfeasible scenarios posited by magicians. Latimer talked to Inverse about real-life invisibility cloaks, the impact of Fantastic Voyage on science, and why we’ll probably see Iron Man become a reality in this lifetime. Read more…
