May I know what Micro Magic is?

Soma - Hungary and Shawn Farquhar - Canada won the Grand Prix award. You should see their act, very nice. The Koreans and Japanes's standard in manupulation is very high, look so magical!
Micro Magic is Close-up magic.

I can't wait to watch what Shawn Farquhar did for his card act if there is any video available. Never expected him to participate in this category but did expect him to win something after knowing so.
