Genii,
The Conjurors' magazine, has a 15 page spread in the new March issue
on the making of Lance Burton's Young Magicians Showcase which is
about to be screened in the States on the Fox Family Channel. England's
Andi Gladwin appears on the show. It is refreshing to see a magic magazine
devoting so much space to magic's future. There is also an interview with
Lance Burton where he discusses how he got started in magic. You can

The Magic Circles'
Young Magicians Club will be staging a one day convention specifically for
young magicians, tentatively titled The YMC Junior Day, at the Centre for

being worked on but with the range of facilities that the CMA has to offer
I am sure that this will be an excellent day. As soon as we have details
