I just heard that FISM 2021 will be in Quebec. Time to start saving the pennies.....

Now changed to 2022 of course, anyone from TM going?

I have every confidence that Mark Lewis will attend.

He enjoys magic conventions and being around other magicians, even more than I do.

Plus I'm that sure he adores using the French language, whenever the opportunity permits.

Mark (and Barefoot Boy) is based in Toronto which is about 800km away so the journey might be offputting but it would be great if he (or both) were there.

Mark and Paul should record it together as a 'Road Trip' - it would be superb viewing!

An excellent idea!!!

Your sarcasm is noted! As for the FISM convention they keep sending me messages about it and I keep deleting them. I doubt very much that I will be there but I suppose you never know. I will mention it to Paul I suppose. However, Mandrake is correct ---it is indeed a long, long way. People don't realise that Canada is a VAST country probably only second to Russia in size. It would take forever to get to Quebec. And they are VERY French speaking there! In fact from what I hear, they are almost resentful if you dare to speak English!

Oh merde !!

Just for those who don't keep track of these things... like me... FISM means "Fédération Internationale des Sociétés Magiques" spoken with a nasal French accent, or "Fools Involved in Silly Magic" spoken with an arrogant English snobby elite tone. According to The Magic Nook Calendar, it is being held: 07/25 - 07/30/22 - FISM Quebec World Championship of Magic, Conference Centre, Québec City, Canada. Now back to bantering about Mark Lewis, who deserves to be bantered about.
