Internatonal Magic Magazine
Introduction
VANISH is an independent online magazine available to magicians who
share an interest in the art of magic. It is a bimonthly magazine with six
issues a year.
The aim of the magazine is to provide thought provoking articles to help
increase magic as an art form, and to share the passion of the contributors
with the rest of the world. With a potential readership of over fifteen
thousand magicians the aim is to offer articles that other trade magazines
do not.
