A Monumental Month for MAGIC

Something remarkable happened on November 1st— an event that will forever influence the direction of modern magic and bring it further into the public eye. On that day, The Power of Magical Women by Connie Boyd, published by Vanish Press, was officially released. Its arrival marks a defining moment for our art.

The Power of Magical Women is a beautifully curated collection of Connie’ s work over the past five years with Vanish, along with reimagined and expanded pieces from other inspiring contributors featured during the magazine’ s 14-year history. For over a decade, Vanish has prided itself on giving a platform to artists and voices that might otherwise be overlooked in the traditional pages of“ old school” magic publications. We’ ve challenged convention, opened doors, and pushed boundaries— and this book continues that mission with purpose and passion.

Connie’ s new book isn’ t just a milestone— it’ s a movement. It shines a light on the incredible women who have shaped and continue to shape the art of magic. The landscape of magic is evolving, and it’ s time for the old guard to recognize that the future is diverse, inclusive, and full of fresh voices waiting to be heard.

This is truly a game changer for the magic community, and Connie is leading the charge with brilliance and heart. As publisher, I couldn’ t be prouder. The hundreds of hours spent designing and producing this book were worth every moment, because this— right here— is what Vanish stands for.

In this issue, we continue that spirit of innovation and inspiration. You’ ll find Oliver Tabor sharing what it’ s really like to take a magic show on tour, Connie’ s powerful feature on the incomparable Tina Lenert, and a fascinating new story about Penn & Teller’ s encounter with an act they called“ the best they had ever seen.” Add to that a selection of original magic from coins to cards, and there’ s plenty here to fuel your imagination.

So, turn the page, dive in, and enjoy another issue of Vanish— where the future of magic unfolds.
