How in the world did they get FISM to Blackpool? Its already april and not a single performer, lecturer or event is announced yet at the official webpage???? The chinese were slow last time but seriously... I really start to believe the hype that Blackpool is coming 50years behind of other world. Are the main organisation letting this to start happening every year? Most other congresses that are still almost year away have already published at least part of their line up but FISM.... "nah... lets make people pay 550euros convention cards to see +100 mediocre/bad +10 worthwile competition acts"

Well, I'm too very surprise and I'm even more surprise than so few members here talk about this...

The line up wil be great so don't worry!
At FISM you don't go to see one great performer you go because it is FISM and it is garanteed that there will be great stuff to see and buy.
The times of 100 mediocre/bad act and only a few worthwile is long gone! There are now pre-selections and most of the acts will be really good/great!

An add in April issue of Magic Magazine about FISM 2012 in Blackpool : "Artistes already booked: Greg Frewin, Han Seol Hui, Kozmo, Tony Chapek, Huang Zheng, Ernesto Planas, Mark Mason, Stan Allen, Boris Wild, Shoot Ogawa, Clive Webb and Danny, Joshua Jay, David Stone, Jay Scott Berry, etc."
