Blackpool Secures FISM 2012
July 30th, 2009 by Magic Convention Guide
Blackpool Magicians Club has been awarded the honor of hosting the 2012 FISM WORLD MAGIC CHAMPIONSHIPS.
A delegation from the Blackpool Magicians’ Club including Derek Lever, David Plant and Andrew Green headed to Beijing to this year’s FISM Conference to post the UK bid to host the championships in 2012.
The comprehensive 50 page bid compiled by Derek Lever was presented to the FISM committee displaying the extensive convention achievements that Blackpool have stacked up over the past 57 years of record breaking conventions in Blackpool.
The group were delighted to receive the news that they had been awarded the honour at a special event in Beijing and were overwhelmed with the support from fellow magicians to host this prestigious event in 3 years time.
Work will now begin on developing an incredible line up of events for the UK conference in 2012. Derek Lever and the team will start to bring the many elements together to ensure that the next FISM conference puts the UK on the international map for being the capital for the creative magical arts and attract the best competitors and biggest stars in magic to its shores.
