Our latest issue, No.27 for July 2009,
takes you on a fairly rapid international journey as
we interview magical luminaries from various countries
around the world. Our cover star, R. Paul Wilson,
may be Scottish (actually, he IS Scottish!), but his
work is seen all over the world on TV, the most famous
programme arguably being The Real Hustle which has enjoyed
a long and fruitful run. From Scotland our trip takes
us to Brazil (Henry Vargas), China
(Zenneth Kok), Holland (Hans Klok)
and Ireland (Keith Barry - Part 2),
before finally touching down back in England (Ian
Keable). So buckle up and enjoy the ride!
If you asked a selection of experienced close up workers
to name their top 10 close up effects, chances are many
of them would include The Flying Ring
somewhere in that list. We take a look at the classic
Al Koran effect and offer reviews of a whole range of
currently available Flying Ring products.
Other highlights in the current issue include a major
article by Michael J. Fitch on his
trip to Vegas where he hooked up with some of the biggest
names in magic on the Strip including David
Copperfield, Mac King and
Penn and Teller, The Bookshelf with its detailed
retrospective view of Harry Lorayne's 1990 Trendsetters
book, Jay Fortune with his latest Think Tank column,
The Masterclass with two nice close up effects to try,
and of course our extensive Review section, which aims
to help you to make buying decisions on a whole array
of latest marketed products. All this plus news, letters
and other articles make the latest magicseen
a must-have holiday accessory!
Available right now on subscription, or as an individual
paper copy, or as an instant download, don't miss it!
And talking of holidays, if you are planning a long
flight somewhere this summer, why not treat yourself
to one or more of our other publications to help pass
the travel time away? The Man Who Would Be King (£20.00),
WD40 (£25.00 softback, £35.00 hardback)
