EXCITING WORK AHEAD

By now most readers of VANISH would have seen the SPECIAL edition that was released last week . This is a wonderful opportunity for those who have the experience of performing a full 70 minute parlor show . Jonathan Todd is the man behind this incredible venture and I am excited to be the exclusive booking agent for Hotel-Magic , LLC . To find out more click on the advert for the VANISH Special to get the full story .

This month we have two very distinct cover stories . The first is Young & Strange , and our contributor Thomas Swieciak gets an exclusive interview with these two ' bay boy ' s ' of magic . They are currently on a tour in North America before heading back to the UK , and we have included their tour schedule if you want to go and see a great show . You will thoroughly enjoy watching them work and share in the joy and wonder Thomas experienced when he saw them .
Lisa Menna is a remarkable performer and Connie Boyd talks to Lisa about her incredible Cause To Wonder . After reading the article I know you will agree that Lisa is truly one of the most inspirational magicians working today ! The way she uses magic to bring about change in lives around the world is a story of real magic .
Recently the FISM - North American Championship was held in Quebec and thanks to Joan Caesar for writing a review and giving us the inside scoop . FISM is the largest and most prestigious magic competition in the world and if you were to attend only ONE convention next year it should definitely be FISM 2022 . See the advert in this edition of VANISH for more details .
I would like to wish everybody a wonderful Christmas and New Year . The last two years have certainly be a challenge to say the least . My family is about to embark on a journey back to my home country of New Zealand to live , so we have a big year of changes ahead for us .
Onwards and Upwards
