A-Ha, the children’s competition was ALL A MISUNDERSTANDING!

Mr Mitchell writes on Genii:

“It has now been officially confirmed ( as expected ) by FISM that no such competition exists, that there is no new ‘childrens magic’ category at FISM nor is there likely to be in the near future.”

So, phew, Lever wasn’t trying to start a new category in FISM.

Or was he…

Do you know more? Do you know about the 15% agency fee he charges. Contact me anonymously.

Hello,
I know from first hand experience that Derek Lever expects a 10% commission on the acts he books for the Blackpool convention. However I refused and told the treasurer paying me that it was not coming out of the agreed amount as I had never heard of this commission until the moment I was there getting paid.

I heard from other performers that he tried to pull the same thing with their fee. All of them refused to pay anything out of their fee.

But whether the Blackpool Magician’s Club paid 11.1111% (the amount necessary to result in Derek receiving 10% of the total paid for my act) over and above my fee to Derek Lever and his partner (whose name I do not recall) I do not know.
