Discover the World of Magic

This magazine showcases the enchanting realm of magic, focusing on its entertainment and recreational aspects rather than delving into scientific or philosophical discussions. As stated in its inaugural issue:

Our goal is NOT to reveal the secrets behind the world’s greatest tricks or expose the cherished techniques of skilled magicians. Instead, MAGIC aims to foster a deeper appreciation for this captivating art form, creating more engaged audiences for magical performances and inspiring new enthusiasts to explore this fascinating hobby.
