A FEW WORDS FROM THE CHIEF EDITOR

It ’ s been a busy month for me with performances of my one-man show in theatres and it ' s been a lot of fun putting these together . The good news is people really want to experience live entertainment after Covid and I am finding things coming back to where they were prior to lockdowns . It has taken a few years , but things are looking up for entertainers .

This issue features two wonderful performers who appeared on Penn & Tellers Fool US show and share their experiences . If you ' ve ever wanted to audition , then these will help guide you for the experience . Both Benjamin Kraatz and Emily Robinson-Hardy performed two very innovative acts .

Connie Boyd looks at an upcoming exhibition in Germany called Magic in The Hands of Women . If you find yourself in Hamburg , I highly recommend checking this out because a lot of work has gone into it .

Finally , this month I will attend the AMA awards and be honoured with the Literary and Media Fellowship . This is such an honour and for my name to be amongst those who have received it in the past is something I would have never thought possible . I will write more in the next issue of Vanish .
