A FEW WORDS FROM THE EDITOR

As I write this , I am getting ready to head to Las Vegas and be part of Magic Live ! My son JP will be with me and we will be in and out of the convention but do come up and say hello if you see us .

You ' ll notice some big changes in this issue including more interactive video and lots more magic tricks . I am adding in much more digital video so not only can you read the articles but will now be able to watch and learn from some of the top pros in the world . I have a lot more planned in this area with some great material and additions coming in . I really want to take VANISH into the future and make it more interactive . I am working closely with the software developers , and we have exciting new technology planned . We already have things in place so if you read this on a phone the articles will appear differently than a computer making it much easier to read on small device . Vanish was the first magazine to offer this . You can also purchase a printed copy of Vanish with QR codes so you can still use the interactive parts on those . Check the next page for the link .

It ' s a real thrill to have Mistie and Kyle Knight featured in this issue . I was fortunate to spend time with them and get to know them . What they have accomplished is truly inspiring and they are the hardest working people I know . This is a fantastic feature you will enjoy .

I am also honoured to feature Hollie England . I saw her perform in Champions of Magic and she was a highlight . Another great performer and hard worker .
