This past month I got to take part in one of the most exciting magic events I ' ve ever been to , live or Online . It was the CAM JAM ( Canadian Association of Magicians ) featuring Chip Romero and a tour of his phenomenal collection of Doug Henning magic , original Houdini props , Dai Vernon and so much more . I was pleased to be able to invite readers of VANISH and the feedback was all very positive . His passion and excitement never stopped and he kept hundreds of magicians from all around the world enthralled for over two-and-a -half hours . A huge thank you to CAM ( www . CAMmagic . org ) and to Chip Romero . I hear whispers that part TWO might be coming up . Be sure to check in with cammagic . org for this and more of their Online events .

Ekaterina has been on my radar as a featured artist for some time . She has such amazing talents in and out of magic and thank you to Connie Boyd for working on this for the magazine . Be sure to check out all of Ekaterina ' s social media sites and enjoy her highly skilled performances .

I had a really great surprise this past week in the mail . The Women in Magic special edition got a lot of interest , and the cover I designed turned out to be one of the most popular in the past ten years . Lupe Nielsen , who produces high end magic posters took on the project to produce a canvas print of the cover . The quality of Lupe ' s work is amazing and she has really done the cover proud . If you collect magic posters and are looking for something eye catching and modern , you can ' t beat this one . From a distance we can see Josephine Lee and when you look up close there are hundred ' s of women magician ' s throughout history presented . It comes in two sizes and this image is quite special as it is a fine GICLEE , printed with UV INKS on CANVAS .
