The blue logos you see throughout this eBook signify FISM winners (14 at this year’s 4F.) According to Wikipedia, the International Federation of Magic Societies (FISM) (Fédération Internationale des Sociétés Magiques) was founded in 1948, and is one of the most respected organizations in the magician community. It is an international body coordinating dozens of national and international clubs and federations around the world, representing approximately 50,000 Magicians from 32 countries. The organization hosts a FISM conference every three years (the World Championship of Magic), where magicians compete for “Best of” categories. The last FISM was held in 2015 in Rimini, Italy, and the next will be July 9-14, 2018 in Busan, South Korea. Want to learn more about FISM 2018? For details, surf to:
