In the January 29th article "Here's the scoop on FISM Italy 2025 (Headliners, Brand New Categories, Insights & More)" by Ryan Joyce at Magician Masterclass we learned that there are two demonstration categories this year:

This year, the prestigious competition introduces two exciting new categories:

World Champion Street Magic: Bringing magic to the streets, this category honours magicians who perform in public spaces and open-air environments.
