+We believe that direct, fast GRBs in the MAGIC FOV are too valuable to allow for any technical or personal problems during the alert.
+Therefore, we would like to make soon a blind test launching a fake GRB alert from outside 
+{\it without telling the shifters beforehand}. These tests are especially important to train the shift crew and make them aware of the
