Welcome to MagicPedia!

A free online encyclopedia for magician by magicians dedicated to the techniques and history of magic that anyone can edit. MagicPedia currently contains 20,709 pages written, edited, and maintained by volunteers. It's goal is to be the definitive Internet repository for all areas of the magical arts and a way to document the history of magic. MagicPedia is not a place to post explanations of magic tricks (though performances are welcome via embedded video clips), but a living document, always in flux, that reflects the background knowledge required for a thorough study of the art of magic in all its facets. Please become a member (it's free) and help out by writing on a topic not yet covered or improving an article that someone else has started. MagicPedia is sponsored by Genii, The Conjurors' Magazine.
