Almost 500 magicians attended
the lecture on Fred Kaps
during The FISM 2003 World
championship of Magic in The
Hague. The format of the
lecture, moderated by Dick
Koornwinder, was very
attractive. A Powerpoint
presentation of about 50 pics,
Pete Biro and Mike Caveney as
guest speakers and finaly a
little over half an hour of
video footage on a big screen.
The input of the audience was
excellent. Johnny Thompson
added some great stories and
Bob Sheets performed his
version of the Homing Card.
For many it was the first time
they saw Fred Kaps perform and
seemed not to be disappointed.
The standing ovation at the
end of the lecture was one of
the most emotional moments of
FISM 2003.
