Mahatma (magazine)
''Mahatma'' was a monthly magic periodical founded by George Little, which was published March 1895 – February 1906 (issue 104). According to Alfredson and Daily, it was "the first English language magical serial of any substance". With the September 1902 issue, it became the official magazine of the Society of American Magicians. ''Mahatma'' was printed in the back of New York City's Martinka's magic shop. Publication history The first issue of ''Mahatma'' was published in March 1895. There was a gap in publication of 28 months between issues 8 and 9 of volume 1. During this time, the publishers put out 2 other magazines that followed the numbering of ''Mahatma'': ''Vaudeville'' and ''Artist Era''. ''Vaudeville'' claimed to be a continuation of ''Mahatma'' with a change in name and format, and ran for two issues (Volume 1 Numbers 9 & 10). Only two issues of ''Artist Era'' are known to exist (Volume 1 Numbers 11 & 13). When it continued publication of volume 1, ''Mahatma'' ign ...

Magazines Established In 1895
A magazine is a periodical publication, generally published on a regular schedule (often weekly or monthly), containing a variety of content. They are generally financed by advertising, purchase price, prepaid subscriptions, or by a combination of the three. Definition In the technical sense a ''journal'' has continuous pagination throughout a volume. Thus ''Business Week'', which starts each issue anew with page one, is a magazine, but the ''Journal of Business Communication'', which continues the same sequence of pagination throughout the coterminous year, is a journal. Some professional or trade publications are also peer-reviewed, for example the '' Journal of Accountancy''. Non-peer-reviewed academic or professional publications are generally ''professional magazines''. That a publication calls itself a ''journal'' does not make it a journal in the technical sense; ''The Wall Street Journal'' is actually a newspaper. Etymology The word "magazine" derives from Arabic , t ...
