After hundreds of issues and decades of publication, Magicus Magazine has come to an end. This magazine, unlike any other, took the liberty of saying out loud what some people were saying in hushed tones, and dared to speak out on sometimes divisive subjects. From now on, we'll have to make do with a digital version.
For its latest issue, Magicus Magazine organized a "Happy Funeral" in Paris on Wednesday November 1, where guest magicians were treated to a succession of different artists. These included Luce, Fabien Olicard, Flip, Benoît Rosemond, Otto Wessely, Hugues Protat and many others, all set against the superb backdrop of the Magic Mirror at the Musée des Arts Forains.
We also had the pleasure of meeting many of our magician friends in the audience, and of meeting the team who have been at the magazine's helm for all these years. To the magazine's credit, the audience also included several members of the FFAP, a sign of Magicus ' unquestionable open-mindedness, which is to be commended here.
This magazine also played its part in the growth of Cabinet d'Illusions in its early days, producing various reviews of our editions(Bakner and Le magicien boiteux in particular). Their unbiased opinions and unflinchingly transparent reports motivated us to keep up the momentum to become what Cabinet d'Ill usions is today, and to make ourselves known to their loyal audience. Thank you for this.
Finally, it is with some pride that our book on the life of Mlle Benita Anguinet, the first prestidigitatrice, is reviewed by Sébastien Bazou in the latest issue of Magicus (no. 243).

This "happy funeral" ended as it should with a drink, which allowed those present to take advantage of this moment of conviviality to talk about the life of this magazine, but above all about our shared passion: magic.
Hello, Sébastien Bazou forwarded me your blog, which obviously touched me, especially as it's rare for people to talk about our magazine, which bothers a lot of people who can't stand anything other than waxing and waning. Hope to see you again. Sincerely yours. DIDIER PUECH
