 The Magician's Nephew - More About The Magician’s Nephew
First published in 1955, The Magician’s Nephew was the sixth of the seven Chronicles of Narnia, but author C.S. Lewis insisted that it should be the first book read.
The Magician’s Nephew is first and foremost a delightful story that takes us to worlds unknown.
For now, however, we hope you enjoy The Magician’s Nephew for what it is first and foremost: a delightful story that takes us to worlds unknown, to charming creatures risen from the dust of the earth, and to a Lion who rules with strength, majesty and, most of all, love.

The Magician's Nephew (Chronicles of Narnia) by C. Lewis
So in "The Magician's Nephew," C.S. Lewis backpedalled to tell us the story of how Narnia began, the origin of the White Witch, and various other little questions that popped up over the course of his Narnia series.
And though it's unknown whether "The Magician's Nephew" is going to be on the silver screen, it's a valuable read for movie-watchers and readers alike.

 Forums - The Magician's Nephew
Many of the details in The Magician's Nephew are most interesting to readers who already understand their significance, in my opinion.
In the Nephew, she has a history, a reason she is the way she is. She also has an opportunity to display a number of emotions, from fear to pride and of course downright meanness.
Maybe The Magician's Nephew would make a good piece to do somewhere in the middle of the series, since most of its "spoilers" were for The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe anyway.

 RPGnet: Review of Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Magic Box
First up is a new mechanic for group spellcasting, allowing assisting magicians to add their success levels to the primary caster's roll.
The former involves magicians gaining temporary bonuses to their Sorcery scores by patronizing magic pushers, subjecting themselves to the Boost Power spell, or draining power from magic items or other magicians.
The former is kept pretty basic – the magician summons the demon and binds it via contract to perform a service, in return for which the magician pledges to perform some future service for the demon.

 What are the Christian themes in The Magician's Nephew?
Answer: Although published as the sixth in the series, The Magician’s Nephew is the first of the Narnia books when arranged chronologically.
The major theme of The Magician’s Nephew is “rules have a purpose.” Several characters in the book believe themselves to be “above the law,” and each one pays a price.

Uncle Andrew, the absurd magician of the story's title, also illustrates a lesson that you can take either in a religious context or as a practical moral: "Now the trouble about trying to make yourself stupider than you really are is that you very often succeed."
My favorite part of this book is when the talking beasts are arguing over what to make of Uncle Andrew.

That skeptical stage magician who has been disseminating negative propaganda to fool the uninformed knows absolutely NOTHING about laboratory experimentation and what constitutes admissible technical evidence.
In 1990 the psychic group which was founded by Dr Fransesco Coll who was then based in Washington DC was co-ordinating psychic groups in many parts of the world.
Those not qualified, say, stage magicians, cannot conduct experiments properly at a level where their conclusions could be valid.

'The Magician's Nephew' is often considered the first of the series, with events that preceed 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe'.
Reading the books in the 'second' order i.e the Magicians Nephew first conveys a wonderful sense of time passing as the world you imagine grows with you.

It starts with a boy and a girl, Digory and Polly, who stumble into Digory's Uncle Andrew's attic while they were exploring the "secret passage" in the space between the walls and the roofs, in their row of houses.
Uncle Andrew is a magician of sorts, and when he tells Polly to touch one of the yellow rings he made, she suddenly vanishes.

 The Magician's Nephew Study Guide by C. S. Lewis: Overview
In The Magician's Nephew, Lewis imagines the creation of a new universe, and part of his purpose is to speculate on what might happen in a new creation.
He borrows from the accounts of the Creation in the Bible, but he shows significant differences, especially in Digory Kirk's averting the Fall that Adam and Eve did not.
This does not mean The Magician's Nephew is a religious tract; it is a fun, exciting adventure among three worlds and is more humorous than serious.
