A FEW WORDS FROM THE EDITOR

What better way to kick off 2025 than by featuring two incredible artists in the January issue of Vanish . Among them , Brian Glow stands out with a story that ’ s nothing short of inspirational .

For up to eight months each year , he immerses himself in the icy expanse of Canada and Alaska ’ s frozen north , guided by an unwavering mission : to combat bullying and suicide while making a profound , lasting impact on the lives of others . If there were an award for a magician who gives back through their art , Brian Glow would undoubtedly deserve it .

Our other featured artist is Nikola Arkane , whose unforgettable performance at The Magic Castle in 2024 left a lasting impression on me . It was one of the most remarkable acts I ’ ve ever witnessed on the main stage . Nikola is a highly skilled performer , and her vibrant personality shines through in every moment of her act , making her an absolute joy to watch . Don ’ t miss the link to her Magic Castle show included in her article — it ’ s an experience worth seeing .

As we step into the magic of 2025 , may this year bring you wonder , joy , and endless possibilities . Like the perfect trick , let each moment unfold with surprise and delight , reminding us that the impossible is often just a step away . Here ’ s to a year filled with prosperity , inspiration , and a little touch of magic in everything you do
