The Busan International Magic Festival (BIMF) marks its 20th anniversary with hopes to establish magic as a mainstream cultural activity in everyday life, akin to movies or theater. Despite starting in Busan, a city initially without strong ties to magic, and facing financial hardships, the festival has grown into a popular annual event attracting over 30,000 visitors. The festival is now organized throughout the year in various formats to maintain public interest. The festival seeks to host the 30th World Magic Championship in 2028, aiming to revitalize the local magic scene. Special events, like the 'Legendary Magicians' section, are planned to celebrate the festival's milestone year. Organizers hope BIMF will become an engaging family event and further boost the city's reputation in the magic community.
