FEATURED SITE: The New York Moon
The New York Moon is a beautifully designed site with the singular notion of adhering to the "lunar phases of the real waxing, waning moon."

Venerable magic shop Tannen's has a blog that covers in-store talks, magic shows around the city, and things like an original Kepplinger Holdout.
