In 1998, well-known writer and publisher Richard Kaufman purchased Genii from the Larsen family, starting a new era in the magazine's history.

If you're even remotely interested in learning not just how to do magic, but also about the world of magic and magicians, you can't afford not to receive Genii each month."
