On our cover this month is Irish magician Nikola Arcane. She slips into several characters, including FizzWhizzPop when performing for kids, and “Nikola Arkane” when working for other humans. Many of you may have seen her appearances on Sweden’s Got Talent, widely viewed on YouTube and Vimeo. She does close-up, stage, kids shows, and builds a lot of her own props. Busy, busy! Tom Stone interviews this versatile performer. * We also have a story on the French magician Jan Madd, who has spent a lifetime in magic.
Writer of jokes for magicians, business people, and politicians, Robert Orben recently died at age 95; his friend Stan Allen provides a fond remembrance.
We get some spooky stuff from Mr. Steinmeyer in this month’s “Conjuring,” in which a dead woman exerts a bizarre influence over a living spectator in “The Vasty Deep.”
Krystyn Lambert explains how to create a unified show (great advice) in “Stage as Studio.”
In this month’s “What Would Paul Do,” Jonathan Friedman turns PH’s “Bizarre Twist” into a printing style routine (video included).
In his “Material Concessions,” David Regal takes something you know and does it better when cutting to the Aces.
John Bannon gives us double trouble this month with two tricks in “Dealing with It,” which includes a swift Ace switch—say it thrice.
In “Exhumations” Jon Racherbaumer explains his take on a numbers game for numbskulls. This would seem to be a widely applicable item.
In his penultimate “Magicana” column, Chris Beason teaches four things: the first two use a daring discrepancy that will make you smile.
There’s lots of tidbits in this month’s “Eye,” courtesy of Vanessa Armstrong; she’s also an editor over at Slash Film, which is good for folks who like movies.
In “Knights at The Magic Castle” Shawn McMaster reports on the latest performers, and Max Maven’s memorial service.
Of course our issue ends with “Light from the Lamp,” which has a guest book reviewer this month. With my reprint of The Complete Works of Derek Dingle soon to be released, I invited Jamy Ian Swiss back to these pages to write a bit about it; it is one of his favorite books. Other books, and tricks and videos, are reviewed by Nathan Coe March, Ryan Plunkett, and Suzanne (who digs deep into the new Homer Liwag Masterclass).
