ILLUSIONS: A Journey Through Ideas & Spirit

 

The Premiere Issue Featuring Daniel Quinn
What would prompt a couple of blue-collar guys (Lance and John) with absolutely no formal training in writing, editing, graphic design, photography, publishing, marketing, or printing to start a magazine?

 

Theories vary. Some suggest it was a chronic mental disability; others think it was simply a masochistic desire to plunge far into debt and work ourselves to death. Or perhaps a combination of the two.

But the truth is, we were simply interested in sharing what we considered to be fascinating ideas. Thus was born ILLUSIONS: A Journey Through Ideas & Spirit. ILLUSIONS was a quarterly, 32-page journal that contained no advertising, and it was not available on newsstands. Despite this, ILLUSIONS attracted hundreds of subscribers, many of whom became close friends. ILLUSIONS lasted for a year and a half, and it was the reason our cottage industry, MoonShadow Press, was formed in the first place.
