ADDRESS PLEASE NOTE : New address so email prior to posting any product reviews to VANISH . editor @ vanishmagazine . com

This is a very special edition as we celebrate the 100th issue of VANISH . This does not include the dozen or so Specials we have produced over the past 12 years but the regular issues that come out every month . With so many wonderful things to celebrate I am pleased to announce a major step forward in how you can now read VANISH on your mobile device .

ANNOUNCING A MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH : If you are reading this on your phone or tablet , you will notice a different layout than if you read this on your desktop . For the past few months , I have been working with a team of experts to take VANISH to a level in digital reading never seen before . The system now automatically detects what device you are using and adjusts the magazine accordingly . All the main articles will come up now as text , and you can scroll up or down on your mobile device making it much easier to read on your phone or tablet . If you want to view the magazine in all its glory , then read it on your desktop and it will appear as the regular magazine . While other magic magazines have tried to do this VANISH is the first to take it to this level and once again , we offer cutting edge technology to magicians . Reading magazines on phones has always been hard and this is a major advancement for the magazine world in general . While it hasn ' t been cheap , and the time involved has seen months of sleepless nights I am excited about the future of digital publishing . We have so much more to bring readers and will be releasing new features gradually .

You can now find VANISH on the AppStore - just search VANISH magic magazine . We are currently working on the Google Store version now so should be up soon .

I am excited to once again have full plans to build stand-up and illusions in this issue by Nigel Harrison . Another first for VANISH offering full illusion plans for those who enjoy building magic . This month it is a very novel presentation of a production of a rabbit or any other item . You will love the creative thinking behind this .

Finally , thank you to Greg Gleason for allowing VANISH to offer a worldwide exclusive deal on his amazing new routine . It is well worth looking at and I know many will love this routine he has developed .
