If you have the desire to perform, the ability to wow an audience, and the persistence and commitment to stay on the path then this world of magic just may be right for you!  As you are going out into the world pursuing this line of work you may be met with some resistance.

Most people don’t feel that this is conventional work and you may hear an earful from relatives who believe that you can’t make it happen.  But we are here to tell you that you can!  Thousands have been before you and have made anywhere from a few extra dollars to millions!  The choice is yours, but just know that it is possible!  Anything is possible with magic!!

So you have decided that this is the path for you, you’ve perfected some magic tricks, and your ready to wow your audiences with your brilliant patter and powerful illusions, not what?  Where do you go to find your audiences?

Keep in mind that there are a ton of talented magicians out there, and they are all looking for gigs just like you!  So being amazingly talented is not all that is going to get you jobs in this field.  You must decide to go the distance, knowing that putting in a lot of work now, and being patient while the fruits of your labor ripen, can bring you more success than you dreamed of.

First thing is to find your niche like we discussed in previous posts.  Don’t think about the financial reward when you are listening to where your heart draws you.  When you just do what you love most, the money will come.  Just trust that.  So finding and targeting your niche will save you a lot of work!

Once you have found your target audience, now you can go out and solicit business.  One thing you will need is a professional video of you performing in front of the type of audience you are targeting.  This video should make you look good!  This is a great marketing tool. And greatly enhances your ability to be hired.

A prospective client can view this and have all his or her questions answered about your effectiveness as a performer and magician, something they will always wonder about but would never ask you because of course you would say you are great.  Now with a video, they will see that you are great.
