The Important Results (to me)

David Sousa was runner up in manipulation, many congratulations...superb..

Rick Merrill is the close up World Champion...this fact makes me very, very happy...he was brilliant.

Jerome Helfenstein from France was totally ignored despite having the most magical hand shadow act I have ever seen. No doubt this was because he didn't have any coloured hankies etc (ie, that old chestnut "not enough magic...") Never mind Jerome, many, many people LOVED your act and it will be booked all over the world...remember, there was a time when Lennart Green was ignored by a FISM jury
