A FEW WORDS FROM THE EDITOR

This is a very special issue because Vanish is the first magic magazine to ever feature a Métis magician on the cover . I ' ve known about Chanelle for some time , and she has one of the most inspiring stories I have come across . She has taken her magic back to her heritage and is spreading a positive message across Canada in places that possibly don ' t get to see a lot of entertainment . Here is an entertainer who is making a difference in people ' s lives and it ' s such an honour to have her on the cover and share her story .

We also have an exclusive interview with the curator of a new exhibit in Salem about Conjuring the spirit world . This is a fascinating collection that starts in September and goes until February 2025 . You will find it has pieces from Houdini and some truly remarkable pieces .

A highlight for many is Nigel Harrison ' s Illusion Plan series . You won ' t be disappointed as he has a great piece that is more than just a production of an assistant . I really love this one and know you will too .

It ' s been an exhausting month with Magic Live ! and seeing so many friends . Sorry if I didn ' t have time to say hello but I was extremely busy with my son . Enjoy this issue of VANISH .
