Canada is in final preparations to host the 28th FISM World Championship of Magic in Quebec City this July. One magician from Elora and a small team from Quebec have been working for nearly three decades to make the historic event a reality.
July 25-30, 2022, in Quebec City, over two thousand magicians will attend the world’s largest magician competition and convention known as the FISM World Championship of Magic.
FISM is Federation Internationale des Societes Magiques. It’s the highest governing body for over 80,000 magicians worldwide and has overseen the last twenty-seven magic championship competitions. These six-day events are presented in a different host city every three years. Since its founding in 1948, FISM has never appeared in North America or any western country.
Until 1997 and the Canadian Association of Magicians founding, Canadian magicians had no representation in the international magic competition. Now, all eyes are towards Canada to see what tricks Quebec City has up its sleeves.
