August Linking Ring Advertisers Deserve Your Support

Category: Article   Posted by: C. DENNIS SCHICK

ADVERTISING is the lifeblood of most publications and broadcast media. So to focus attention on advertising regularly is quite appropriate. Let's take a look at the advertisements in the August 2014 issue of The Linking Ring.

 

Three of the most visible—and thus most expensive—positions in The Linking Ring are the cover positions: back cover and inside front and back covers. The new Masters of Illusion television series on The CW Channel, holds down the back cover with a terrific ad. Inside the front cover is another stunner, because of the large photo of Harry Houdini. It is an ad for the Houdiniana Auction conducted by Potter & Potter Auctions. The inside back cover is also an attention-getter, from Hermetic Press, and is about their new book, “The New Magic Way,” by Juan Tamariz.

 

Other FULL-PAGE ADS in this issue, from front to back, are:
