Here is a basic example from a sports magazine:

Its not porn but I am talking about the technology behind it.
Has anyone tried and if not why not?

Playboy UK tried it and it was a total failure. Thankfully it wasn't my idea!
The technology is old now. But more importantly than that it is fundamentally a shit idea imho. Think about it.
The web is not a magazine. People READ online very differently from offline. Why on earth would you try and cram a magazine layout for A4 into a screen?
The page turning animation is cute for about the first 3 pages, then is annoying and pointless.
Design a magazine for online use, sure, but design it for online use. I mean, as that example you posted loads, you get to read how to actually navigate it. If your nav needs explaining, it's broken.
In my humble opinion, as ever.
