Thank you to our anonymous Mystery Magician, for your excellent submission!
We couldn't find the YouTube video mentioned by Michel below, so at the bottom of this post we embedded their fantastic performance from a video on Facebook.
From the November 22nd Facebook post by Michel Hout (translation by Facebook):
In September and October, I visited France twice. One of these times was because we had been invited Marc Trudel , Yannick and I: The Montreal Trio) to come perform an original number at France's got incredible talent.
It was a bit crazy because on August 29th in the evening, I was performing in Prévost and had to go directly to the airport. Immediately heading to the recording studios upon arrival. So 2 shows in 18 hours on two different continents. Hehe. Watch 28 Nov on M6. For America, the whole thing will be on YouTube the next day.
From the November 26th Facebook post by Michel Huot (translation by Facebook):
Several years ago I watched the show Whose Line is it Anyway and saw this principle there. I have always wanted to do something similar After the very good Chick N Swell had done some circus themed floor (excellent). We decided to get involved in magic. 🙂
From the July 29th upload "World’s best magicians gather in Canada for championship" by CBC News: The National:
From the July 28th article "The best magicians in the world are gathering in Canada this week" by Joseph Pugh at the CBC:
Two Canadians are competing this year, including Yannick Lacroix from Quebec and Cobalt, who will be competing in the close-up card magic category.
"I'm excitedly terrified," Cobalt told CBC News. He qualified for the championship after competing in an event last fall for the first time.
The Toronto-based magician says there is added stress and excitement when thinking about the audience.
"It's literally every great magician I grew up reading about … or ask[ed] for an autograph who's going to be in there now watching me do this act."
There's a lot on the line for the magicians, according to Canadian illusionist Greg Frewin.
"If you place even in the top three of this competition, your life changes," he says.
Frewin speaks from experience having won first place in the general magic category at the 1994 world championships in Yokohama, Japan. He currently performs shows at the Greg Frewin theatre in Niagara Falls, Ont., and has been training the next generation of magicians. One of his students, Ding Yang of China, is also competing at FISM.
"I can't give away what she does, but I will say this, there is one part of her act that nobody, male or female, has ever done and probably won't do for a long time because of the skill level and the skill set besides magic that it takes."
Congratulations to all!
