Matt Gore featured at CJME

From the February 5th article "From magic school to master illusions: Matt Gore’s mind-bending tale" by Brittany Caffet at CJME:

Gore, a skilled magician who has captivated audiences around the world with his mind-bending illusions and performances, knows that his profession is often met with curiosity, wonder, and a healthy dose of skepticism.

He sees magic as more than just a performance, but a chance to offer people a brief escape from the stress of their everyday lives.

“Everyone’s got stuff going on in their life. Everyone’s got problems. But for a moment, we’re going to forget about all that and just enjoy a moment together,” Gore explained. “After the show, you can go back and you can pick up that weight that you once had, but it feels so freeing just to just be like, ‘How is that possible?!’ That’s the power of magic.”

On January 19th we shared on Facebook that FISM 2025 will have a demonstration category for Streetmagic!

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 Online Magic: In recognition of the growing influence of digital platforms, this category celebrates magicians who perform and captivate audiences through virtual mediums.

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

Yesterday, we learned that both Chris Ramsay and Ekaterina will be part of the jury for the Championship of Online Magic!
