Five months from now the FISM 2006 convention in Stockholm is already on its second day.

At the resent convention in Las Vegas several magicians told our head organizer – Christer “El Duco” Gustavsson – that they thought the convention was sold out (mostly due to a tread in another magic forum).

To make all of you happy:

The FISM 2006 convention is NOT SOLD OUT.

True is that we have more than 2200 registered magicians to date.
The venue FISM will be held at is a very large convention fair. The main theatre, the Victoria Hall, seats 2000 people.
We have decided to show the Nordic Opening Show and the Gala Show twice so that everybody can see the show live.
We’ll have "open seats" for the competitions.
The final show cannot be repeated, as it is the juried performance of the finalists for the world championship. Those people registering from now on will view the final show on a giant screen in the Dante Room, which seats 800 people in comfort.

That means we have room for a lot more magicians. As for now we have a stop when we reach 4000 registered magicians. For the final show; If we reach more than 2800 we will move the big screen to a larger hall.

Please spread the word!
