Conjurers’ Monthly

Conjurers’ Monthly Magazine was a magic periodical by Harry Houdini that only ran for one year from September 1906 until August 1907 as a competitor to the Sphinx.

The magazine touted Houdini’s importance to the world of magic, gossiped about magicians he did not like and offered criticism of his imitators. The series, “Unknown Facts concerning Robert-Houdin” and “Robert-Houdin’s Place in the History of Magic”, ran for twelve issues which later became a book, The Unmasking of Robert-Houdin. Houdini also wrote under the pseudonym “N. Osey”, as the European Correspondent which he had previously been doing for Mahatma.
