Get in line, I'm afraid. There's someone in front who's already on the verge. After some rough times and some incredible times, Morgan is now ready to take what's his and has the chops, talent, look, and dedication to make it all happen.

Jamie became the de facto editor as he is next in line to take control. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo, when James left for a business trip out to meet with Cyril, Jamie stepped up to the plate and gave the rest of the crew the necessary leadership required to make this current issue a reality. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom managing the writers and contributors to assuring all of the necessary content made it in time for layout-Jamie really took the bull by the horns and made it happen. Without his direction, it wouldn't have happened. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe're tremendously happy with the way this issue has turned out, so make sure you say hi to Jamie and give him a well-deserved ataboy when you get a chance.

As primarily a performer, I realize how important it is not just learn technique but how crucial it is to learn how to apply those techniques to real world situations. And that's what I hope to bring to you with this magazine. Our motto of, \"Learn. Conjure. Mystify.\" Is exactly what we want you to do and I hope to contribute with the \"mystify\" part. Whether it's a Magic Friday or a piece on The Approach, I believe, that through this magazine, we can all teach and help each other to becoming the greatest magicians the world has ever seen. Let's do it together.\" - \u003cb\u003eJamie Grant\u003c\/b\u003e, Editor-At-Large \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Secret Life of Houdini - An Interview with Author William Kalush \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eXtreme Card Manipulation by De'vo Vom Schattenreich \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Shadowquin Illusion by Michaelangelo \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eand 30 more articles and tricks to learn. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ci\u003ePages\u003c\/i\u003e 98 - Saddle Stitched","brand":"Black's Magic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43669160558825,"sku":"MR40903","price":8.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/6842\/6416\/files\/Magician-Magazine-HOUDINI-Issue.jpg?v=1769672894"}],"url":"https:\/\/deinparadies.ch\/pt\/collections\/blacks-magic.oembed","provider":"Deinparadies.ch","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
