When you bring one brilliant mind into a room, you’re off to a great start but when you want to exponentially enhance power you add others of considerable skill and respect. Often the word for this is colleagues and that is exactly what N S R (Neal Scryer – Scott St Clair and Richard Webster) has achieved by adding additional prolific minds to this and future editions of the Scryers’ Gazette download project titled “Magazine for the Modern Mage.” This first edition is targeted to spark interest wide and varied — which is one of the primarily objectives — a desire to pull from a variation of different sects from the art of magic…
Neal’s Scryer, Scott St Clair, and Richard Webster (N S R) share a unified vision for a modern magazine. One which maintains the successful recipe of the Neal Scryer Books by featuring not only their own proprietary works but also includes the addition of content and material from their respected colleagues who are respected and notable creators within the community. This formula has proved exceedingly successful in the previously published and still available hard bound Scryer Series of books also available from Stevens Magic. These new collaborative efforts will be targeted primarily for to Bizarrists, Psychics, Mentalists and Séance Workers. Now, with the collaboration of Mark Stevens and Stevens Magic, we are proud to bring exactly that to YOU, dear reader!
Within these 54 pages, you will find some fantastic work on many different aspects of our craft. It is our intention to continue to provide some of the strongest material from the minds of some of the craft’s greatest creators. What is more, we will constantly be adding to our list of contributors, with many more already lined up for issue 2!
The Gazette will be released, approximately, three times a year and, we are certain, it will become a sought after and much referenced resource for our fellow performers. So, with all of this in mind, read on, enjoy, and we will see you next time… – N S R
