And my profile of Lance Burton includes an example of the act that won this living legend the Grand Prix in 1982, one of several Americans who would in that period wrest the top awards in multiple categories from longstanding European rivals. I examine several stellar examples of cutting-edge contemporary manipulative magic in the work of Lukas Lee and Yu Ho Jin. In several installments of Take Two, I’ve mentioned the international magic competition held every three years, since the 1940s, by FISM, the Fédération Internationale des Sociétés Magiques, and in particular the category of magic known as “manipulative magic” or “manipulation.” I outlined the history of FISM in my portrait of the remarkable Jean Valton, who won First Prize three times (including at an early gathering before FISM was so named).
