General

Mentalism

Comedy

Grand Illusions

Manipulation

Invention

Micro-Magic

Close-up Card

Parlour Magic

Most Original Act

The FISM Grand Prix Championship title is the most elusive and desirable title that any magician can achieve. From the various champions of the different magic genres, the winner for the Grand Prix title will be chosen. There has been occasions where more than one Grand Prix champions were born eg. 2006 when Pilou and Rick Merrill won and 2003 when Jason Latimer and Norbert Ferre.

This time FISM has reached Asia and it is now affordable for Singaporeans to travel there to catch it! Who knows it might be a once in a lifetime chance. Be sure not to miss this MAJOR magic event happening next year!
