A collection of over 40 magic tricks PLUS 13 essays on the craft and business of magic.
The year is 2016 and VANISH is now five years old. Paul Romhany is still producing a bi-monthly magazine that on average has approximately 200 pages for each issue. His theory was that magicians should take two months to read the magazine and digest all the articles just in time for the next one.
He has spent many hours re-reading every article for year five and chosen the ones that he feels shows how much variety the magazine offers. By the time December rolls around he thought about making the magazine slightly smaller and doing a monthly publication. You will notice this nearer the end of the Tricks section. This book is filled with some incredible routines from some very talented magicians. You will find close up magic, stage magic, mentalism and even family style routines.
The great thing about VANISH MAGIC MAGAZINE has always been the diverse range of contributors they seek out. VANISH is truly an international publication and this series of books reflects all that and more as we they magicians from all around the world represented in these pages. Thank you for your support in your purchase of this book. It all helps keeping the magazine alive and without it they could not produce the quality of publication that they strive for.
