Dear MAGIC Café:
I am a magician from Shanghai,China. Right now there is a ragging storm in China to Reveal the magic secret. A lot of Government TV programs broadcast the secret of magic,including the way to make gimmick. Many of them directly broadcast the Explanation DVD without authorized. Recently,there is a program like this: http://tv.sohu.com/20090324/n262979104.shtml They are revealing the secret of many great magicians:David Copperfield,David Blaine,Criss Angel,Cyril. This rising tide of revealing secret seems like to be continue,and they are killing the magic art. However,the Chinese government and Chinese Magic Club keep silence and do nothing to stop the damage. So right here ,I want to notice everybody that Please boycott the coming FISM in Beijing to give the pressure to the government. For magicians:your secret of the performance would be reveal by Chinese TV program. For dealers:your products would be copied by some of Chinese dealers. For magic fans:too many Chinese people do not respect magic art. So please tell me where else in the magic Café I can post this notice or probably in some other way I can notice the people here?

I'll do my part and will not attend!
Also, if I were you, I would do a search on FISM and post about this in the current topics on the upcoming Beijing FISM.

Here is a clip from one of the shows where they show (without permission) performances by Brett Daniels and David Copperfield, then reveal the secrets.
http://v.jstv.com/viewtv/8692 Is this show really endorsed by the CAA?

Apparently the CAA contacted the TV station a week ago to protest this TV show.
If you choose to boycott FISM it will have as much effect on the TV show as boycotting the IBM convention in the USA would have on 'The Masked Magician' show.

This is sad but boycotting will not have any effect.
I had no intention of going to FISM in China or truthfully any where else. It seems to be a one way street on FiSM. They want North Americans to support the convention but will not allow us to host one. That is why the combined convention happened last year in part. I think you will also not find a lot of magic dealers at FISM. Why go where they are already copying everything and give them a first hand look at your products? They would have them duplicated before you got out of the country. Of course, you are already ripping off products it will not bother you any. Richard

I can think of a more than a dozen reasons not to attend FISM in China...The least of which is the MM in China.

I tried to talk Rocco out of going. He wanted me to go but I said no way Jose, even though he is getting First Class treatment all the way. You couldn't get me to go to China, for ALL the Tea in China!
(I wonder if the number 47 special is the same in Chinese restaurants there as here?) |

In that first posted clip, when she made the toothpick disappear, look at the reaction of the kids in the audience. Then watch their reaction when she exposes the effect. It's pretty sad. At first they witnessed a small miracle, then they saw someone tape something to their thumbnail. And they respond accordingly.
I'm surprised they make this kind of show. It's short sighted and inconsiderate. The producers should be ashamed.

Here's the problem. China is not a signatory to ANY of the intellectual property law groups, such as the Berne accord or the Uruguay agreement. In other words, NOTHING has copyright, patent or any other kind of protection in China. The only protection that exists is when their copies are brought into the U.S. or one of the other countries that is a signatory to said agreements.
I see that some of you are FINALLY waking up to this. Welcome to the real world, fellows!

The Chinese government is very good at blocking videos that expose the Chinese government.
Maybe if we installed a magician led world dictatorship, we could ban magic exposure. And only allow sanctioned magicians to perform in public.
