SEOUL -- In an effort to promote personal exchanges, North Korean magicians have been invited to a major international magic show to be held next week in South Korea's southern port city of Busan, officials said Tuesday.

Busan will host the World Championships of Magic from July 9-15, jointly with the International Federation of Magic Societies. Organizers said top magicians from more than 50 countries would compete in the triennial magic competition.

The South's unification ministry said Pyongyang has yet to respond to an invitation sent earlier. North Korea has a national association of magicians who have performed at home and abroad.
