My family and I just arrived back from a much needed holiday, it was great to
catch up with some friends we hadn’t seen in a long time. A special thanks to
my dear friend Michael King for spending the day with us and showing us the
sights, sounds and tastes of LA. The highlight for me was to stand in the spot
where Chaplin made one of his greatest movies THE KID. It was an emotional
moment for me and a thank you to Michael for finding the exact location where
one of Chaplins most iconic scenes was filmed.
From day one I’ve always wanted artists to have a say in how they are
represented in VANISH. In our feature this month Amberlynn shows us she is
not only a terrific performer but creative photographer and designer. I like to
give license as to design and am always impressed when artists take this on.
Amberlynn has really done a terrific job and given this issue a fresh look and
feel. Her creativity shines through her story, we hope you will be as impressed
with her feature as we are.
I was saddened to hear of the passing of Nina Schindler. I met George and Nina
back in my teens when they came to a convention in New Zealand, you could
not have met two nicer people. Nina was a mother to many magicians and
you instantly fell in love with her. We send out sincere condolences to George
Schindler and family.
I am pleased to announce that I have taken over the printed version of VANISH.
This means you can now order a printed copy via the VANISH website. Once
there click on printed copies and you can order recent issues. The quality of
printing is extremely high and while we aren’t pushing the printed edition it is
nice to be able to offer it. I do not plan on doing any subscription printing but
rather print-on-demand.
December is always a busy month for
magicians around the world. I hope you all
have good bookings and are kept as busy as
you’d like to be. I included a very interesting
article that I am sure will elicit emails about
what to charge for shows. If you have views
on this then I would love to hear from you.
Drop me a line and let’s see how you feel
about this topic.
