July 2025
Welcome!
It’s another busy month of magic. Lots to report on. We’ve also been hard at work on the new Genii Magic experience. More on that soon. In the meantime, here’s a whole lot of magic culled and curated, just for you. Executive editor Jim Steinmeyer is back with two interviews for The Genii Speak video, and you’ll meet more of Genii‘s great columnists. (There are a few extra links below for you to use to learn more about Blake Vogt and Annanya George, too.) Enjoy!
