The first ever FISM™ Asian Championships of Magic™ in Korea in 2008 !

A General Assembly of FISM™ Asia held on the 4 November 2007  led to the decision to have the first FISM Asian Championships of Magic in Korea, 2008 (FISM™ ACM2008). The event will be organised by Mrs. Eun-Sun Chung, President of the Organizing Committee and of the Korean Magic Society, with the close collaboration with Mr. Juno Kim, President of the Alexander Magic Family and Vice-President of the Organizing Committee. The host city will be announced at a later stage.

 

The WCM 2006 TV Show has reached millions of viewers worldwide!

One of FISM™ main goals is to bring magic closer to the laymen and open up the World Championships of Magic™ to the general public. The production of a TV show to be broadcasted worldwide was a key element of this strategy.   The  first World Championships of Magic™ produced for such a purpose was well received by  broadcasters, proving that magic is a popular family entertainment programme.  Although sales of it have not (yet) exceeded the production costs, the TV show, available to TV channels in both 60' and 90' minutes, has  already  been broadcasted  in 64 countries worldwide,  reaching millions of TV viewers.

As announced in the Newsletter 3, photographs from the  FISM World Championships of Magic 2003 in Den Haag are now available on-line on www.fismphoto.com. The photography collection is from  the well-known magic photographer Wittus Witt.
