It took more than a little wand waving to bring the North American Qualifications to Qu\u00e9bec City. Festival de magie de Qu\u00e9bec and Club de magie de Qu\u00e9bec <\/a>organizers Ren\u00e9e-Claude Auclair and Pierre Hamon started the long process in 2014. Since then, with the help of the Qu\u00e9bec City Convention Centre and sales representative Jocelyn Guertin, a series of initiatives has been deployed to promote Qu\u00e9bec City to FISM.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

Qu\u00e9bec City has been in the running since 2016, and will make its bid next year at the World Magic Championship<\/a> in Busan, South Korea. If the stars align, Qu\u00e9bec City could welcome over 2,000 magic fans from around the world for a six-day spectacle in 2021. The event would generate an estimated $5 million+ in spinoffs.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

The North American Qualifications are where magicians aspiring to become world champions compete to qualify for the World Championship. In 2017, Club de magie de Qu\u00e9bec member Nicolas Dutel won the title of FISM North American Champion of stage magic. We wish him all the best in his quest to win the title in Busan in July 2018.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
