HERE'S TO 2019
Happy New Year one and all …
VANISH has some very exciting projects planned for 2019, including
something HUGE I've been working on for a few years that I will reveal in
February. With the help of my “secret” committee we have been scouring
past editions of VANISH, visiting as many public performances as possible
and looking closely at performers around the world. In February we will be
making a major announcement so stay tuned.
This year saw the first edition of VANISH MAGIC MAGAZINE - Year One
Collection. It’s received rave reviews and there are just a handful of copies
left - once they are gone no more will be printed. If you want to own a hard
cover edition of YEAR ONE then place your order now. There is an advert
in the magazine and you can click on it to order a copy. Please note: YEAR
TWO will head to the printers once the first collection is sold out.
Many thanks to Nick Lewin for writing an incredible article on Ray Anderson
of the Esther’s Follies. The fact that Esther’s Follies has been running for so
long is a true testament to Ray's talent and skills. He has firmly established
himself as THE show to go see in Austin, Texas.
Congratulations to Jeff Christensen who was recently named “Inspirational
Canadian Magician of the Year” by readers of Canada Magic Blog. Jeff and
his family are extremely deserving of this award and have not only helped
many families in third world countries, but inspired many magicians around
the globe. We will feature Jeff in an issue sometime in 2019, however, I'd
like to leave you with the following video as something to think about in
the year ahead. Thank you Jeff for everything you do my dear friend, I look
forward to more from you this coming year.
