V9K1E6 CANADA Anthony Owen was a good friend of VANISH, I interviewed him back in 2015. He contributed various stories and was always very encouraging, lending a helping hand or ear with any questions I threw at him. Anthony was known as one of the most influential creators in the field of mentalism, and many of his original plots and effects are featured in the repertoires of the most famous and respected performers in the field. His work with magicians on UK television was ground breaking and he helped many others launch their careers. John Cornelius was quite simply a genius. His FISM flash was all the rage, as was his pen through anything. Two of the most popular magic effects of all time. Sadly John got burnt by people ripping off his work and he stopped releasing his ideas. This edition pays tribute to Anthony and John who have had such an impact on the world of magic. We are pleased to once again be the first magic periodical to feature an artist who has not appeared on any other magic magazine cover. Chloe Crawford first came to the public's attention with her performances on Britain's Got Talent, and has worked very hard to continue her success. We look forward to following her magical career as she strives to achieve her dreams. Thank you to Hal Meyers who put together an amazing article on another incredible artist, Kathryn Flocken. She is a master silhouette cutter, her work is some of the very best I've ever seen in this field. Again, we look outside of the box and find truly amazing people in magic related fields to bring to our readers, many you may not have heard of before. Finally, I would like to thank Nick Lewin for representing VANISH at the Johnny Thompson memorial in Las Vegas. Nick wrote a wonderful tribute in the last edition of VANISH and another heart felt article of the memorial. Paul Romhany Editor COPYRIGHT All rights reserved.
