This month, I am putting the finishing touches on this issue’s Magicana from the FFFF convention in Buffalo, New York. Attending FFFF reminds me that great magic is being created and performed the world over, all of the time. To find proof of that, you need to look no further than the pages of this very magazine.
This month you will enjoy the work of a living legend of our art, in addition to three emerging artists.
Dominique Duvivier is France’s master of close-up magic. To describe him as prolific would be an understatement, to say the least, and yet we hear very little about his work in this country. This month we are changing that.
Luis Carreon, from the United States, is known for his amazing work with cards, but this month he shares an amazing piece of coin magic that you will love sharing with your audiences.
Radek Hoffman is a mentalist from Poland whose contribution to the issue pushes the traditionally austere genre of mentalism in new directions by incorporating surprising visual elements.
Finally, from Belgium, we have Patrick Kurota with a powerful new effect with an ungimmicked Rubik’s Cube. Just when you think you have seen everything that can be done with a Cube, Patrick proves that you have not.
Enjoy!
When Magicana relaunched in 1964, Charlie Miller hoped it would be “a storehouse wherein today’s magical greats keep their secrets.” Since then, it has featured material from magicians including Vernon, Goshman, Marlo, Tamariz, Walton, Hollingworth, and Elmsley.
