High precision mass measurements have been performed on the exotic magnesium isotopes 29-33Mg using the MISTRAL radiofrequency spectrometer, especially suited to very short-lived nuclides. This method, combined with the powerful tool of resonant laser ionization at ISOLDE, has provided a significant reduction of uncertainty for the masses of the most exotic Mg isotopes: a relative error of 7X10-7 was achieved for the weakly produced 33Mg that has a half-life of only 90 ms. Moreover, the mass of 33Mg is found to change by over 250 keV. Verifying and minimizing binding energy uncertainties in this region of the nuclear chart is important for understanding the phenomenon of shell opening: the lack of binding energy that is normally associated with magic numbers.
