From the MagicNZ Ezine comes this news direct from Tony Hassini:
The International Magicians Society's voting members and the
Board of Directors voted Luis de Matos of Portugal as the
Illusionist of The Decade. As 2010 is coming to an end, there
will be four more decade awards. I will correspond with you and
send you information on each one of them.
So we can assume that, in addition to 'Illusionist of the decade' there will be three more '... of the decade' awards.
But what will they be?
We've already had
'Magician of the decade' - Criss Angel, 2009.
'Mentalist of the decade' - Gerry McCambridge, 2008
'Female Magician of the decade' - Bambi Van Burch, 2009
'Magical Inventor of the decade' - Andre Kole, 2004
'Illusionist of the decade' - Joe Labero, 2009 (Oops, was that already handed out?)
'Illusionist of the decade' - Franz Harary, 2004 (Yep, it was..., twice)
Any idea what the new categories yet to be announced will be?
