A Few Words on T he Wi zar d  The first issue of The Wizard  was  was published in April 1947 by George Armstrong of  The Magic Wand Publishing Company of Enfield, Middlesex, England. The magazine continued for 95 issues and terminated with Vol. 8 issue 95 in July 1956. The first copy sold for 1/- (one shilling) and the first advertisement to appear on the  back cover was for the magic dealer Zaharee. George Armstrong edited the magazine from the first issue up until Vol. 6 number  72 when Jack Lamonte took over as editor. Each month a black and white  photograph of a prominent magician was featured on the front cover and inside a  biography  biogr aphy of that cov cover er personality person ality.. The magazine was a general magic magazine with equal space given to children’s magic, mentalism, card magic, ventriloquism, Punch and Judy and hypnotism. The Eddie Dexter articles on hypnotism make fascinating reading and were eventually  produced in book form as Entertaining Entertain ing with Hypnotism. There were many  prominent names amongst the contributors and the following are some from the lengthy list: George Armstrong, George Arrowsmith, Ken Brooke, Arthur Carter, Cedric, Chandhu, Milbourne Christopher, Tan Hock Chuan, Carlos Colombi, Ken De Courcy, Edward Dexter, Prince Drakon, Hen Fetsch, Douglas Francis, Lewis Ganson, Ken Green, Francis Haxton, Louis Histed, Jack Hughes, Roy Johnson, Al Koran, Jack Lamonte, Fred Lowe, Max Malini, Billy McComb, Jay Palmer, Edmund Rowland, S.H. Sharpe, Hans Trixer, Verall Wass, Mark Weston, and Jack  Yates. For me with my love of his kind of magic, the issue devoted entirely to Al Koran is  particularly exciting. In January 1948 Al Koran actually advertised close up lessons. Eight lessons for three guineas — I wish I could have been one of his  pupils. At the Cotswold Convention during May 1948 Al Koran was on the Magic Wand stand demonstrating effects from his book Mastered book Mastered Amazement . There are numerous articles in the magazine on the historical aspects of magic including word portraits of some of the leading performers from the past. Within these pages there is a wealth of material covering every aspect of magic. For anyone who is thinking of reproducing this magazine in a bound volume without my permission please do not do so. I purchased the copyright and all world rights from the owner – the son of George Armstrong — about fifteen years ago. I hope you enjoy this CD-ROM of one of the classic British Magical Magazines —  George Armstrong’s Wizard . Martin Breese, London, May 2002
