Bringing a brilliant mind into a room is just the beginning. To amplify that brilliance, you need to surround yourself with other skilled and respected individuals. This is precisely what N S R (Neal Scryer, Scott St Clair, and Richard Webster) has achieved by collaborating with additional talented minds for the Scryers’ Gazette project titled “Magazine for the Modern Mage.” This third edition aims to ignite interest across various facets of magic.
Neal Scryer, Scott St Clair, and Richard Webster (N S R) share a vision for a contemporary magazine that builds on the successful formula of Neal Scryer Books. It features not only their original works but also contributions from esteemed colleagues within the magic community. This approach has proven successful in the previously published Scryer Series, available through Stevens Magic. These new collaborative efforts are primarily aimed at Bizarrists, Psychics, Mentalists, and Séance Workers. We are excited to bring this to you, dear reader!
Within these 77 pages, you will discover exceptional insights into various aspects of our craft. Our goal is to consistently provide top-notch material from some of the greatest minds in magic. We will continually expand our list of contributors, with many more lined up for issue 4!
The Gazette will be released approximately three times a year, and we are confident it will become a highly sought-after resource for performers. So, with all this in mind, enjoy reading, and we look forward to seeing you next time… –N S R
