Dustin - as always, your "year in review" is a much awaited highlight to finish off the year.

Thank you for putting this together.

An incredible accomplishment and honour! What a fitting tribute to the international man of mystery.

'But the heartbeat of the show is David Williamson’s ringmaster Willy Whipsnade engages with the audience as well as his young volunteers in a manner that is warm, inviting, spicy, spiky and hilarious. He has the voice and charisma of US actor Sam Elliott. There is no higher praise." https://ww...

Brad,

You need the FISM card membership number ... not your AMA number in order to qualify for the reduced registration.

Hi all

Can anyone give some current benchmarks on what the entry level weekly salaries are for cruise-ship magicians ?

Thanks

If you haven’t watched the Kickstarter video - do so. Nicholas has assembled some great fresh ideas here - I hope the concept takes off.

Genii Online tweets:

“I'm sad to announce that due to circumstances beyond our control, Genii Online will be going silent for a while.

But don't fret. Every vanishing act ends with a reappearance. We'll be back some day.

In a puff of smoke.”

Any further details ?

FINAL FISM 2018 THOUGHTS How is FISM history going to consider Korea 2018 ? Very very well. Casa and his amazing team of staff pulled of a fantastic event ( and even more miraculous when you consider that all of this was accomplished in 6 months after picking up the pieces from the prior organizers ...

Did something happen in Grand Prix finals?!? Cheung had over 90 points and yet a Eric Chien from 82 points came and won?!?! :o In all honesty only way that should be able to happen is that Cheung messed up or his act didnt stand 2nd viewing since over 90 points in FISM is really really really reall...

H About the awards: In Lisbon 2000, 1st place comedy wasn't rewarded to any act, Scott and Muriël were in that category, didn't win a prize, but they were announced Worldchampions. Has that changed in the next FISMs? Is the new Worldchampion of Magic also a first prize winner in their category? To ...

The awards system is out of synch at FISM. Rather than have the awards ceremony in the morning followed by Grand Prix finale in the evening - they’ve strangely opted instead to have the Grand Prix Finals first and awards ceremony second. This is non-sensical. 1 - the finalists were all informed via ...

And now to see what IBM SAM and Live do in 2021.

It will be suicide for IBM and SAM to have their events the similar time as FISM Canada.

CLOSEUP GALA SHOW 9 performers ... over two hours of closeup magic performed for 2000+ people. If ever there was a time that less is more - this is it.

But ending with a “score” as if this were a FIFA match was genuinely insulting — and would have been even if the “scores” were reversed. Max, clearly the humour failed to land. I am truly sorry you are so offended - that was never the intention. But you have read *way* too much into this and taken ...

CraigMitchell

Max - that comment was completely uncalled for.

My remark regarding score was tongue placed firmly in cheek.

FISM 2018 - Day Five It’s hard to believe that our FISM adventure is slowly drawing to a close. Just two more days left of “magic all over the world”.
