Genii, The Conjurors' Magazine is the largest selling magazine in the world devoted to magic and magicians. It is a monthly color glossy of over 100 pages and is currently edited by Richard J. Kaufman. The magazine is based in Washington, DC.
Genii was founded by William Larsen, Sr. in 1936. Upon his death in 1953 it was subsequently edited and published by his wife Gerrie Larsen, son William Larsen, Jr. and his wife Irene Larsen, grandson Dante Larsen, and granddaughter Erika Larsen. In 1998, it was sold to The Genii Corporation headed by magic author Richard Kaufman.
It appears as both a conventionally printed magazine and a digital edition, which includes audio and video supplements. Subscribers also receive free access to all 77 years of Genii's back issues.
In 2013, The Academy of Magical Arts, located at The Magic Castle in Los Angeles, started providing paid subscriptions of Genii to all of its magician members.
Genii is the only magazine in the field of magic which regularly includes free DVDs with its issues, and has done so for many years.
Genii's roster of columnists have included: David Britland, Eugene Burger, Al Cohen, Dani DaOrtiz, John Gaughan, Andi Gladwin, Roberto Giobbi, Helder Guimaraes David Kaye, Ian Kendall, Chris Kenner, Homer Liwag, Max Maven, Jon Racherbaumer, Jim Steinmeyer, Dustin Stinett, Tom Stone, Daniel Ulin, and Caleb Wiles.
