5. Lausanne - Jay in FISM

The only reason I was in Switzerland is because Jay had invited me to come and see him in FISM (Fédération International Société de Magie) competition. I had the $120 conference badge allowing me to come and go as I pleased. I got to see Jay preparing back stage, but I only watched a few of the shows. Jay's was the best, but it seems for political reasons they did not want him to win. Lance Burton www.lanceburton.com also had a good show, but to me it was too slow. In any event Lance took the grand prix and went on to become a famous full-time act in Las Vegas.

 

There were promo posters around the town
