Welcome to the 2016 edition of magic's best-kept secret! Inside this hardcover gem, you'll find over 40 magic tricks and 13 essays that dive deep into the craft and business of magic (yes, it’s a real job — shocking, I know).
Paul Romhany, the mastermind behind Vanish, has been churning out this bi-monthly beauty for five whole years. Each issue boasts a hefty 200 pages, because he believes magicians should take their sweet time to digest all that glorious content before the next one drops (and honestly, who wants to rush through magic?).
After countless hours of re-reading year five's articles, Paul has cherry-picked the best bits that showcase the magazine's delightful variety. Spoiler alert: you might notice a slight change in size towards the end of the Tricks section — he’s toying with the idea of going monthly (you heard it here first!). Expect a treasure trove of routines from some seriously talented magicians, covering everything from close-up to stage magic, mentalism, and even some family-friendly shenanigans.
The beauty of VANISH MAGIC MAGAZINE has always been its eclectic mix of contributors. This is a truly international publication, and this volume reflects that global magic vibe. So, a massive thank you for picking up this book — your support keeps the magic alive, and trust us, we need it to maintain the quality you’ve come to adore.
