Seconds ago, we broke the news from Nate
Kranzo that outstanding Rick Merrill of Michigan picked-up the FISM Grand Prix Award
in Close-Up, Second Place
for Comedy, and a Special Award from the Swedish Magic Circle.
More news is filtering into the smoke-filled and otherwise cramped space of
Quinlan's Inside Magic's world-wide editorial office.
Pilou received First-Place honors for the Stage Grand Prix competition as well
as a special honor from the Swedish
Magic Circle.
South Korea's Magic Superstar Eun Gyeol Lee made it to the
final six for the Stage Competition, received First-Place Honors for General
Magic, and won the Las Vegas Contract.
We've wanted to see his act for
years now.
This Las Vegas contract may be just the ticket.
Mr. Lee and Arthur Trace were the two Stage competitors for whom we
rooted.
Unfortunately the incredibly
inventive Mr. Trace did not make the final six in the Stage Grand Prix
competition.
He did receive Third-Place in Manipulation (the true test of
a magician in our books).
Canandian Shawn Farquhar (pictured) picked up Second-Place awards for Micro Magic and
Parlor Magic.
