Cinemagic featured photo illustrated "how to" articles on make-up, miniatures, set building, stop-motion animation and optical effects for the 8mm and 16mm amature fantasy film maker, with step by step instructions on building stop-motion armatures, mold making and prosthetics,
creating traveling matts and much more. Several future film professionals and Oscar winners contributed to the mag. FXRH publisher Ernie Fanino painted the self-portrait on the cover of Cinemagic #8. Larry Schlechter and Tim Hammell contributed the cover art for issues #10 and
#11. In 1979, Cinemagic was sold to Starlog Press, which produced 37 new issues through 1987. Dohler's early 1980s trade paperbacks Film Magic and Stop-Motion Animation
(Vols 1 and 2) reprinted Cinemagic articles along with previously unpublished  material.
