Just Magic
Conundrum is a Montreal-based independent magazine for magicians by the husband-and-wife team of Marc Trudel and Sophie-Anne Vachon. Conundrum aims to highlight the best magic, showcase magicians we admire and give back to the magic community.
The stunningly visual and fully illustrated magazine is completely ad-free and printed in Canada on really high quality paper. It almost feels like a book. Its pages are filled with interviews, profiles, tricks, discoveries and creative inspiration! We go in-depth and explore magic through a discerning eye. We also choose to focus on the good stuff. Let's celebrate what makes magic so great.
Inside Issue 2 you'll find:
Rematch: A highly visual piece of magic from Michel Huot that can be used in both social media and the real world.
Ring of Gyges: Eric Jones contributes this mesmerizing vanish of a ring with tons of great applications. It's like having a cloak of invisibility between your hands!
Anatomy of a Playing Card: This collaboration between Sophie-Anne and Lee Asher brings us more information about the history of playing cards than you ever dare to ask.
Gamechanger & Magic Maker: An in depth and important interview with Rosemary Reid shedding light on women in magic via the Sisterhood project.
Balloon Swallow: After hundreds of performances, Wes Barker gives it all away. A must-read if you've ever thought of performing this stunt.
Mirage: An impromptu card trick from our cover boy Spidey that will go straight into your working repertoire.
Sounds About Right: Music composer Medhat Hanbali shares dozens of recommendations so that magicians can improve the use of music and sound in their show.
Armadillo: The complete breakdown of a beautiful cardistry move from Bao Hoang.
Lazy Mentalist: Memorized deck specialist extraordinaire Martin Joyal helps us discover memory techniques... without having to memorize a full deck!
The Making of a Children's Author: Amy Kimlat explains how to bring an idea to life... and how she got David Copperfield to collaborate on her project.
All of this, plus in-depth interviews, thorough reviews, articles on creativity, games, recommendations and all that makes Conundrum a truly magical, visual and entertaining magazine.
