Genii, The Conjurors' Magazine is the largest selling magazine in the world devoted to magic and magicians. It is a monthly magazine first published in September 1936, currently edited by Richard J. Kaufman and owned by Randy Pitchford. The magazine is based in Washington, DC.

History

Genii was founded by William Larsen, Sr. in 1936, and it was published as the official organ of the Pacific Coast Association of Magicians, which had been founded in 1933. The original print run was 750 copies, which went down to 500 for the second and third issues.[1] Upon Larsen's death in 1953 it was subsequently edited and published by his wife Gerrie Larsen, son William Larsen, Jr. and his wife Irene Larsen, grandson Dante Larsen, and granddaughter Erika Larsen. In 1998, it was sold to The Genii Corporation headed by magic author Richard Kaufman.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8]Genii appears as both a conventionally printed magazine and a digital edition, which includes audio and video supplements. Subscribers also receive free access to all 77 years of Geniis back issues.

From March 1942–June 1947, M-U-M, the periodical of the Society of American Magicians, was published as part of Genii.[9]

In 2013, The Academy of Magical Arts, located at The Magic Castle in Los Angeles, started providing paid subscriptions of Genii to all of its magician members.[10]

Genii is the only magazine in the field of magic which regularly includes free DVDs with its issues, and has done so for many years.[11][12][13]
