During the thirteen issues of MORTIMER'S MAGIC MAGAZINE, new routines, ideas, and patter were presented for the magician who wanted to learn new show material, perform at a magic meeting, or simply amaze friends without having to spend years practicing. The MAGICIAN'S HOME COMPANION will follow the same purpose that made MORTIMER'S successful and popular with its readers. Emphasis will be on magic that can be done with a minimum of sleight and those will be the ones that most magicians know. Your props will be dusted off and used again once you see what else can be done with them. It will provide you with useful and practical information presented in an informal manner.
