Bio
David Xanatos
Michael is a creative, conscientious individual who creates very high quality publications of which the SYM can be quite proud. His attention to detail is great, and as a result, the service he provides to his readers is excellent. I am sure his work has had a positive impact on hundreds if not thousands of young magicians all over the world. I enjoy reading the material he brings together, and find his organization and theming of the material makes it accessible and pleasant every time.

In 2004 Michael Raymer became the bulletin editor for the prestigious Louisville Magic Club. He had big shoes to fill, replacing former editor Earl Bullard at the time of his death. But he has thrived in his position. He brought the bulletin from being two pages each month to being 3-5 pages on average. He has successfuly introduced new features such as inspirational articles and reports on the magic scene in Louisville. And partially based on his success with the Louisville Magic Club bulletin, the Society of American Magicians made him the editor for The Magic SYMbol, the youth magazine of the S.A.M. I believe that editing the LMC bulletin has given Michael a lot of valuable experience in designing documents and I reccommend his work to anyone in need of designs!
