A FEW WORDS FROM THE CHIEF EDITOR

What a thrill to have Charlie and Sherry Frye on the cover . They are launching their new book , Sleightly Absurd at Magic Live and I am certain it will be a sell-out . If you aren ' t at Magic Live then you can order a copy from their website . See the advert in this issue to get your copy before they all sell out .

After all these years I will finally be attending this year ’ s Magic Live in Las Vegas . I will be there with another contributor , and we will be hosting interviews , a lot of social media posts and working on a special Vanish story . If you see us please come up and say hello and bring your favourite magic trick - we ' d love to share it on Social Media .

The Magic Castle is featured in this issue with a celebration of 60 years since the Castle opened and a look at the recent Celebration of Life for Milt Larsen held this week . Thank you to Ben Robinson and Nick Lewin for writing these pieces and sharing their experiences with us all .

This is another jam-packed issue of VANISH with amazing essays , tricks , and in-depth articles . Hal Meyers continues his series on magic routines he has created from his working repertoire . His Knife Through Coat is one of my favourite versions of this classic and well worth your consideration . Reach out to Hal for more specific details if you need them .

I hope to see many of you at Magic Live - do come up and say hello .
