The news is out! I’ve been nominated to win an award at FISM for BEST MAGIC PODCASTER. There was a going to be a way to vote, and as soon as I know how it works I’ll share it with you. But already it’s a big honor.
It’s also a great move for FISM to start thinking about other categories online that impact magic.
Anyways. I’m super pumped for this. And I’ll let you all know how to vote as soon as I know. But for now just wanted to celebrate the nomination!
From the March 12th Facebook post by Paul Romhany:
BIG NEWS - - Woke up to this amazing news. VANISH - International Magic Magazine has been nominated for a FISM award for top digital magic magazine. I'm still trying to take this all in. We've certainly changed the way a digital magazine is published and now the audio version adds another element never done before.
