Magic Roadshow
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Magic Roadshow is a US online magazine published and edited by Rick Carruth.
Magic Roadshow is an online magic publication, published bi-weekly for magicians, mentalists, and street performers. Known primarily as a 'resource' ezine, the Magic Roadshow provides links to other magic related web sites, files, video's, articles, magic and mental magic effects.
Established over two years ago as an email based newsletter titled eMagic Deluxe, the Magic Roadshow adopted its current name over a year ago and began publishing issues online. Since that time, Magic Roadshow has featured interviews with well-known magicians, including Michael Finney, Oz Pearlman, Justin Miller, and Gazzo.
The Magic Roadshow remains unique in the magic community as one of only a couple of newsletters to make the transition from email-based to web-based. Most magic related newsletters were not able to maintain their readership and publication schedule's with the advent of the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003.
Magic Roadshow's editor, Rick Carruth, is also an editor of one of the magic categories at the DMOZ Open Directory Project, the street magic related web site StreetMagic.info (the domain under which the Magic Roadshow is published), and various other magic and marketing related web sites.
As of November 1st, 2006 the Magic Roadshow had a monthly readership of over 3500 readers per month and continued to be published online at Street Magic.info.
A sister site, also published under the StreetMagic.info domain, is Magic Bullets, a magic related blog that features a twice weekly update/recap of magic news as it appears in print in publications worldwide. Although not as in-depth as other news related sites, primarily Inside Magic and iTricks.com, Magic Bullets provides links directly to the news source, and continues to be syndicated by major feed services, including Yahoo.
