Dear Mr. President, Dear Friend in Magic,
In this Newsletter I take pleasure in highlighting the latest developments.
FISM EUROPE
Good news from the European front !
It’s now sure that the European Championships of Magic will be hosted by the
French Federation (FFAP) during their convention on the Cruise Ship M/S Classica.
The dates are September 24th through 28th, 2014.
After the organizers first felt compelled to cancel the venture because of the
financial risks involved, they succeeded in striking a new deal with their partner
Adora Voyages. A visit to the dockyard confirmed that the refurbishing of the
theatre is well under way and that the stage will meet the necessary requirements
to organize a flawless competition. For more information you can visit the website
www.ecm2014fism.com .
FISM LATIN AMERICA
From February 26th through March 3rd, the FLASOMA Convention successfully
hosted the Latin American Championships of Magic in Santiago de Chile.
The next FLASOMA Convention will take place in Montevideo, Uruguay, from
February 5th till 8th, 2015.
JQS: JURY QUALIFICATION SYSTEM
As promised, we keep you up to date on the progress of this important project.
A definite working group has now been established, consisting of the members of
the Presidium, completed by Andrea Baioni (Italy), Magic Christian (Austria),
Eberhard Riese (Germany) and Albert Tam (Hong Kong, China).
The aim is to establish a pool of qualified judges from which the Presidium can
make its choice to compose the panels to judge the FISM Championships, but also
to give support and legitimacy to major competitions all over the world wishing to
obtain the label “FISM Approved”.
Indeed, each country should be given the best possible chances to select
candidates meeting the minimum FISM requirements, thus allowing them to
participate in the Continental and World Championships. The presence in the
national judging panels of qualified FISM judges can help to attain this goal.
With this in view, a program will be set up to form and train prospective judges. It
will consist of the following steps:
a) Laying down the requirements and criteria to become a FISM judge.
b) Establishing a selection committee to validate the prospects, giving the
ones selected the opportunity to enter an extensive training program. (Each
Continental Division will be asked to appoint a Continental Jury Manager.)
c) Drafting a manual describing the successive steps in this formation:
- amplifying on the Contest Rules and Procedures
- asking for an online assessment of various recorded acts
- making it possible for the prospects to do dry runs during real
competitions (taking part in all debates and giving marks that will not
to be taken into account, but which will give cause to in-depth
discussions afterwards).
FISM MEMBERSHIP CARDS
FISM, being a Federation of Societies, up to now little or no attention has been
given by us to the individual members of each of the clubs and we’d like to stress
that also in the future we intend to communicate with them exclusively through
you, the Presidents and Delegates.
However, for quite some time we’ve been asked to bring about a way to make it
possible to identify members of FISM affiliated Societies. (E.g. magic dealers,
prepared to offer a discount to the members of FISM affiliated societies, have no
control over who qualifies and the same applies to convention organizers who are
prepared to charge a lower convention fee.)
So, it was decided that a Temporary Working Group will be established to study
the possibilities, evaluate the practicality and possibly work out a system where
the clubs receive personalized membership cards for their members. Apart from
the personal particulars, the numbered card (in the form of a credit card) would
carry the name of their club (or the one they rank first) and a specification of their
membership (e.g. performer, tutor, collector, historian, author…). It’s obvious that
mere sympathizers or supporting members of a club would not qualify for such a
card.
As a consequence, the number of votes of the societies and thus the contribution
they have to pay would be computed according to the number of membership
cards. So, one of the advantages of the system would be that only the club
favoured by the individual member would have to pay for his part of the
contribution.
We realize that it will take a lot of work before we have a workable database, but
we are confident that some enthusiastic magicians will be found ready to assume
this arduous task.
Please be so kind to send me the names of possible volunteers having the
qualifications and diligence to join this working group.
WCM 2015 – SEATING OF THE DELEGATES IN RIMINI:
As already mentioned in our previous Newsletter, we’ll arrange privileged seating
for all Presidents or Delegates. When you register (or if you have already done
so), please inform our secretary Priska Walther. (pwmagic@bluewin.ch).
WCM 2018
We are glad to inform you that we received a second official candidature for the
organization of the 2018 FISM World Championships. Finland’s Magic Circle
(Suomen Taikurit Ry) proposes Helsinki as the host city. We are invited for a site
inspection later this year. It goes without saying that we’ll keep you informed.
NEWSLETTERS
It’s also with pleasure that we can announce that from now on the Newsletters will
be sent out in all four of the official FISM languages. We are most grateful to Mr.
Wittus Witt who kindly offered to take care of the German translation.
Kind Regards,
Domenico Dante
