The December 2020 issue of Ye Olde Magic Mag is out!

This is the first issue of Volume 7, marking our seventh year of continued publication of the most-loved magazine on magic history and on magic collecting.

Peter Brunning has been busy digging through dusty archives and has finally discovered the identity of Leon Bosco, the comedic partner of the LeRoy, Talma & Bosco magic act. Read it all here and discover the man behind the name!

Another Bosco graces our pages: 19th century Italian magician Bartolomeo Bosco and an example of a French contract, in another enlightening article by our regular contributor, Pietro Micheli.

Michael Perovich, another of our correspondents, will accompany us for the whole of Volume 7 with a new column, Scandalous Sorcerors, exploring the less edifying doings of magicians of yore. In this issue you will discover what gambling expert John Philip Quinn was up to away from the card table.

Richard Hatch has attended the 3rd Argentinean Magic History Conference and reports on it for all those who weren’t there.

The legendary episode of the magic challenge between Ching Ling Foo and Chung Ling Soo is narrated in detail by Samuel D. Porteous, in an exclusive extract from his book Ching Ling Foo: America’s First Chinese Superstar. The book is then reviewed by Marco Pusterla.

Since the last issue, there have been many interesting (and important) magic auctions, so our regular column Auction Action takes a considerable number of pages, with many nice photos of interesting magic memorabilia you may have missed!
