Hello fellow magic lovers, I've had a few requests from some of you as to how you could donate a few dollars to the Magician School project. Up until now I haven't had a way to easily facilitate this. Now you will find an easy to use shopping cart button in the middle of the Magician School homepage. You can type in any amount you like. The minimum is US$2.50 and the suggested amount is US$4.00 ... but if you're feeling generous don't let me influence you. Aside from the time and effort I happily put into this project, there are the running costs that I could use a little help in offsetting. My intention is that Julian's Magician School ALWAYS remains a free resource. More magic is cooking in the pot and I'll serve it up soon. Julian :-)

Aug 6, VANISH magazine features Julian and His Big RED Box of Magic

Mon, 6 Aug 2012 01:42:55 -0400

Hi everyone, This is a fantastic piece of news for anyone interested in magic. If you haven't heard about VANISH - the new magazine for magicians - then do yourself a favour and listen up. This new online magazine is JAM PACKED full of really USEFUL articles, tips and tricks ... and it's FREE. It shouldn't be as it's very,very good. I highly recommend this to you.
A few months ago they contacted me to do a profile piece for their 'in the trenches' segment. Edition #3 is out and I'm in it! Let me know what you think of it.

But don't take my word about this magazine, this is what some of the world's top magicians are saying ... "It is a crime that this magazine is free. This is better laid out and better content than many of the paid magazines out there. There is no reason anyone who has an interest in magic on any level is not reading this. In this day of age of "everything comes with a price," this is unbelievable." - BANACHEK “I think it’s great! Definitely directed at the performing magician - which is a niche not covered by any other publication.” - Bill Abbott "I just read a copy of Vanish magazine and in a word,"WOW"! It looks great and I am floored by the number of excellent articles by a variety of writers with great photos. I cannot wait to read the next issue, Bravo!" - Carl Andrews "After reading vanish for the first time I committed myself that this will be the only magazine I need to read.This is a number one, extremely well produced magazine, and will be hard to top. I love it and it's about time we can read a class act magazine by a class act person. Congratulations, I rank this a TEN." - Neal Scryer “Just wanted to say I just received my free download and I’m very impressed! Great Magazine!” - Bill Malone Get your free copies here www.vanishmagazine.com Happy magic adventures, Julian
