A FEW WORDS FROM THE CHIEF EDITOR

This issue pays tribute to my dear friend who passed away in November Paul Gross . Paul had a huge impact on my career as a producer and creator of magic and was the first person to take an interest in selling my work . He impacted many lives around the world and will be missed by all that knew him . His son Max continues Paul ' s legacy at Hocus-Pocus . com and Vanish will be here to support him and the entire team .

The Conjurors are about to make their mark with their own show in Las Vegas and it ' s great they chose VANISH to make the announcement and be the first to get an exclusive interview . We follow their journey from when they met to how they got to Las Vegas . It ' s quite the story .

Congratulations to Carisa Hendrix on her run with Teatro Zinzanny which is a show under a big top tent in Chicago . Connie Boyd was able to find time in her busy schedule to interview Carisa and get the scoop on this show .

A special thank you to Nigel Harrison for another amazing set of illusion plans . He is about to launch a book of stage illusions which is going to be amazing . Be sure to look at his advert in this issue of VANISH .
