The Hierophant was a periodical produced by Jon Racherbaumer consisting of mostly card magic with contributions from many. There was a Tannen reprint of numbers 1-7, but according to Genii’s Magicpedia, this edition is missing some material. All of the material was later combined into the hardcover "The Legendary Hierophant".
