The digital version of Pabular Magazine - long considered to be one of the finest magazines of close-up magic ever - is now, by arrangement with the original publisher Nick Bolton, available from Martin Breese.

The first effect in the magazine was by Roy Walton and contributors include: Jack Avis, Gaeton Bloom, John Carney, Tony Corinda, Ted Danson, Will Dexter, Bob Driebeek, Shiv Duggal, Peter Duffie, Alex Elmsley, Dominique Duvivier, Cy Endfield, Bob Farmer, Flip, Piet Forton, Roberto Giobbi, Ray Grismer, Paul Hallas, Steve Hamilton, Francis Haxton, Jim Hooper, Basil Horwitz, Charles Hudson, Gentleman Jack, Larry Jennings, Rick Johnsson, Peter Kane, Fred Kaps, Gerald Kosky, Simon Lovell, Trevor Lewis, Ed Marlo, Bob Ostin, Pat Page, Oscar Pladek, John Ramsay, Bob Read, Rovi, Sam Schwartz, Al Smith, Hans Trixer, Stephen Tucker, Dai Vernon and Tommy Wonder. Some contributors had one man issues and these include: Roy Walton (2 issues), Phil Goldstein (3 issues), Gordon Bruce, David Carre, Walt Lees and Barrie Richardson.

Hundreds of copies of this long-awaited CD-Rom have already been sold. At the Blackpool Convention almost everyone was enquiring when this CD-Rom would be released. And now it is ready and on sale. All 1,311 pages of Pabular Magazine can be yours now for just £31.75/$45 post free anywhere in the world.
