The big question I had to ask myself was how do I follow up after doing a Criss Angel Special edition and a December edition with Uri Geller as the cover story ? I didn ' t have to look far . Nick Diffattee is a fast rising star in the magic world and has been on my radar for some time now as a cover story . Going from two giants in our business to somebody I believe has the potential to be a celebrity in the very near future was the obvious way to go . I ' d like to thank Hal Myers for putting this all together and a big thank you to Amber Lynn Walker for the amazing job she did with the layout of the feature of Nick .
This edition also includes a new series by Ken Scott . Ken is an amazing family entertainer and I am proud to have him doing a series for those entertainers who perform mostly for family audiences . His advice comes from years of working in the field and lecturing around the world .
Something new I have started is a product highlight . These are magic products that go beyond the regular products that I review and I believe deserve an extra spotlight . This edition sees three new amazing products that I feel go well beyond what we are used to seeing and certainly each one has set a new benchmark as far as magic products go .
I am excited to be doing VANISH on a monthly basis now . The workload has doubled and there is more pressure but I have a great team behind me and we are currently planning our yearly schedule .
VANISH is definitely a team effort and without the contributors there would not be a magazine . If you have a favorite contributor please drop them an e-mail to let them know how much you appreciate their work .
Enjoy this edition and I wish everybody a VERY HAPPY 2017 .
