No, no, I didn't.

Okay, so I got sixth place, which isn't bad, actually.

Out of how many?

Thousands of them.

So what happens is for FISM, you have to win the North America, your continent, in order to be represented by your country.

So I won the North American continent first, and then I represented the US when I went to the international.

And so then in Asia, I forget where it is.

I think maybe it was China at the time.

So you have to win that in Asia, and then you can represent whatever country.

I don't know, Singapore or something like that.

and so it just it didn't go well because I mean six places you know it's not bad but yeah not good enough not Asian good enough so which country usually wins those

it depends on the category okay yeah so so magic there's so many different categories right there's mentalism right and there's illusions like copperfield and then there's close-up magic which is something that i do and then there's stage magic but under stage magic there's three subcategories there's called manipulation uh general magic and one more that i'm forgetting

And then for close-up magic, there's cards, there's micromagic, and parlor magic.

Wow.

And so I was under the card category.

Got it.

Yeah.

And usually the Spanish do the best under the card category.

Interesting.

under manipulation it's the Koreans hands down are good at manipulating yeah so manipulation is the concept of producing many cards out of your hands or many bills or coins or anything I'm sure you've seen it on like Instagram and stuff it's really fascinating and that is in terms of sleight of hand manipulation is uses the most
