Some History:  In 1991, Stan Allen turned an eight-page newsletter into “an independent magazine for magicians” called MAGIC, averaging 100 glossy pages per month. Over the next few years, MAGIC Magazine grew to be the most successful conjuring magazine in history. Guinness Book of World Records named it the “World’s Largest-Selling Magazine for Magicians,” ultimately with a paid readership of over 10,000. After a 25-year run totaling 301 issues and 31,526 pages, Stan retired MAGIC Magazine in the fall of 2016.   The contents: Volume 7, Number 5 – Volume 8 Number 4 January 1998 – December 1998 Stan Allen & Associates Stan Allen, Editor 1404 pages Magic – Volume 7, Number 5 – January 1998 – 112 pages Cover – Magic 1997 A-Z Contents From the Editor – Stan Allen Little Dog Letters Inside Magic Television In The News Red Alert!
