Sept 2025, Genii cover, featuring Jason Latimer and Impossible Science

Welcome!

Back to school, back to magic! This month we take a moment to look reflect and celebrate summer magic—with Postcards from FISM—and we also look forward to magic in schools with a fun and engaging way to get kids curious about STEAM programs. We also trip down memory lane and look at the prop that editor Jim Steinmeyer has playfully dubbed, “The trick that ate magic.” Here is your monthly line up of extras via links and resources.

And, be sure to check out our new site, geniimagic.com where you can get all Genii magazine stories served up conveniently on your devices—and with these handy links attached to their corresponding stories!
