NEW IDEA: Making a magic magazine.

[OwenGraven]

Hi,

First and forall, i want to say this is only a grooming idea, and a project that could be put togheter with luck, patience and a lot of good will. A dream blooming inside a mind passioned by magic.

I am a big fan of magic magazines, most of all the old ones (the forgotten ones (the pentagram, center tear, chatter on patter, hocus (a dutch one), richards almanac, syzygy, seance just to name a few.), why?
Because first it contains a lot of idea's that nobody else still uses or read, secondo it containts idea's, not plain tricks where you get patter, explanation, performance, afterthougts.... just chunked up pieces of idea's that where put down for amusing and bitting the creativity of it's readers.

So you will find a quick poll above... just so I can know in wich version people are intersted.
E-version is interesting because of low-production cost and wide devlopment and delivery, but i'm curious of the need for a paper version is really as big as all the other magazines says it to.
paper versions also cost a lot on postage, and generaly costs money, while I want to have a magazine as free as possible.

It would be a magazine about magic, so everything would be accepted and will have sections for cards, comedy, parlor, and mentalism. (if I got enough idea's each issue).

and on the other hand, who would want to sumbit idea's? orginal or alternatives on marketed effects (but no reveals and surely no rip-offs.).

For all of you that think "Hey I want to help?", well press the pm button and send me what you can and how you could help me with it, and maybe you'll be part of the team.

So here are lots of things to think about and do, till next time.

Greetings,

Owen Graven

That sounds like a good idea. Some of those old magazines have some really good ideas in them.
