Freebies don't last forever and the rather excellent Vanish Magazine is no exception.

Over the past eight years I have produced close to 80 free issues of
Vanish Magic Magazine.
The magazine filled a void in market for magicians with producing
current and up to the minute stories, articles, essays that are relevant
to the times. We have introduced artists that would not normally get
featured in other magic magazines and watched them bloom and grow in to
well-known performers. We are always on the cutting edge and not afraid
to look at current world issues and how magicians are affected. We pride
ourselves on being the most forward thinking magic magazine and offering
more than any other publication.
From a personal note, the magazine costs me close to $15,000 a year to
maintain. The advertising helped pay for a small part of that but the
rest came out of my pocket. I continued this for eight years but the
time has finally come to charge a very minimal fee for the magazine. You
will see that the cost is now $1.99 per issue or buy a year's
subscription for $11.99. We appreciate your continued support and look
forward to what we have planned for the future of the magazine.
You can go to http://www.vanishmagazine.com and click on the current edition
(Number 74) and you will have access to the first 10 pages, if you want
to read more simply click read more and it will ask you to purchase that
one or you can subscribe for a year.
Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to many
wonderful years ahead with Vanish Magic Magazine.
