Shawn Farquhar's "Approachable:" David Sousa on Nerves

New journal to promote scientific-based research in magic

A new online publication, the Journal of Magic Research, seeks to promote the application of scientific methods in magic research. 

The journal is published by Past International President Dr. William E. Spooner (left). “At the present time,” writes Dr. Spooner, “the use of scientific methods in research is practically non-existent within the magic fraternity. A scientific approach to magic can provide information not available through traditional historical research.”

John Moehring, former editor of MAGIC magazine and M-U-M, will serve as editor of the JMR. Past International President Dr. William A. Wells and Dr. Gerry S. Hayes are associate editors.
