V9K1E6 CANADA KEEPING IT CURRENT One of VANISH magazines strongest attributes, and something I have always taken pride in, is the ability to include current stories and feature artists as breaking news happens. Printed magazines need to be mapped out months in advance, sent to the printers, then mailed to the subscribers, whereas … VANISH’s digital footprint allows us to get the freshest stories, we can make changes the day/night before the magazine comes out, and alert you electronically when it is ready to download and instantly view. Last month was a perfect example, I received a lot of emails congratulating me on featuring Shin Lim as the cover two days after winning AGT, which is why any type of online magazine will always be popular and attract a wide readership. Stay tuned because our December edition will also feature somebody who - days prior - will have had their own TV show aired around the world. Can you guess who?? Another example is this months feature with Din Yang. Ding made her first US appearance at Magic Live in August and the very next day the magic world was abuzz about her performance. I immediately contacted the two people who mentored her, Juliana Chen and Greg Frewin, and set up an interview. It is a remarkable success story and I’m delighted to share it with readers of VANISH. Nick Lewin has again pulled out all the stops bringing us an excellent piece on Kenton Knepper. I’ve been a fan of Kenton’s for years, studied many of his books and followed his advice. Kenton’s influence on magicians and mentalists around the world is prodigious and it’s a great honor to have his story in our pages. Finally, a big thank you to my wife Natalie who organized a family trip to the UK so I could share my 50th Birthday with my twin brother. It was a huge surprise for him as he had no idea we were coming to visit. The look on his face was priceless. There is nothing more magical than having an identical twin, it’s an incredible bond I believe only twins can share. Enjoy this edition of VANISH and as always please support our advertisers - without them this magazine would not be free.
