montage VANISH I put together.
W
hat a whirlwind few
months it has been. I
started October by flying
to Sweden to perform and lecture
at the Magic Weekend in Lund
then travelled to New Zealand for
the Wellington Magic Convention
where I also performed and lectured. Both conventions were amazing and the New Zealand convention was made even more special
because on October 25th, my
birthday, I was presented with The
Grand Master of Magic Award by my
fellow New Zealand magicians. This
took me completely by surprise and
am honoured to be recognised by
all my peers in the business. I have
included an article this issue with
photos from both conventions and
an article I wrote on why I enjoy
smaller and more intimate magic
conventions over some of the larger
ones.
and it’s great to catch up with her
and find out what she has been up
to showing that there is indeed “Life
After Magic.”
Congratulations to Franz Harary
and all the performers who have
appeared at his House Of Magic. All
reports coming in are showing that
it was an incredible opening month
and the show will definitely become
THE place for magicians to gather
and perform from around the world.

Edition on Franz and the House Of
Magic from our website for FREE.
Franz also supplied us with photos
from the opening week so enjoy the
Our feature artist this issue is Ning
Cai who performed under the name
Magic Babe Ning. Ning has always
impressed me with her ability to
be a trend setter and her hard work
paid off while working with JC Sum
becoming a well known celebrity
in Asia. Her move from magic came
as quite a shock to those in magic
