I'm not competing at FISM but as I read another thread I came to wonder if you have got any tips for contestants at FISM. I mean, obvious do's and don'ts that might not be as obvious for all of us who aren't judges?

Good question Anders! (And great to see you in here too!)
Here are some very obvious don'ts: DON'T - look at a successful act and copy it with slight changes. DON'T - look at a successful act and copy it at all! DON'T - do routines you've bought at a magic shop or a lecture. DON'T - create a 'theme' act where it's all based around (for example) Barbie Dolls, whee they multiply, change colour, and then grow to life size as a climax. DON'T - do an act that is purely a demonstration of skill. DON'T - do any type of act which ends up with you looking great at the expense of any volunteers or assistants. DON'T - do any act where any animals are being hurt or even look as though they're being hurt. DON'T - use any foul language. Even when used in context this can offend sensitive judges and lose you points. I actually wrote a series on 'How To Win A Magic Competition' on our blog. I could post it here in The Café if people would like, or you can take a look at it here: http://magicunlimited.typepad.com/magic_......_ma.html
