Magician's Survival Guide

When economy is down and the bookings are not what they use to be…what do you do?

You still have to pay your bills……how will you survive?

The secret is in knowing your resources!!!

If you make money with your magic and you depend upon that income for your survival, maybe its time to develop a new act...an act of survival.

You can do it…others are doing it...you can too.

I wrote a book titled, “The Magician’s Money Making Survival Guide” just for you. This is an e-book of over 60 pages of stories and ideas teaching you how to make some fast cash as a magician.

Read the story of the famous magician, Harry Kellar who found himself penniless in the middle of his career. After losing all of his belonging including his magic props, Kellar used what little resources he had to pull himself out of a poor mans plight. He hitched a ride on a train to the city of Chicago where he performed his best trick, as an act of survival.

This book will inspire you to discover your resources and how to make money doing what you love to do.

Due to the economic crunch I have dropped the price of the book to less than half the original selling price so you too can survive and be successful as a magician. It’s my way of sharing with you from my own success.

The first three copies sold will not only get the book in e-book form but I will mail you a printed copy of the book...and I will pay for the shipping.

Time for New Ideas

I can not believe it has been almost four months since I posted anything on this blog.

I have been busy writing and posting on my other blogs. You can find my other blogs listed in my blog profile spage.

Yes my bookings have been down so I find I now have more time to write and create new ideas for my "Motivational Magic."

I have found that writing is so important for it forces me to put my ideas down on paper (Ok, I mean in the computer) where I can organize my thoughts and discover the most effective way to communicate my meaning. This helps me formulate my thoughts into structured thinking and it also helps me create the outlines for my presentations. If you have more time on you hands....invest your time into writing.

Frequently I will create a new effect or an adaption of an old one to help illustrate one of my messages. Now that I have had some extra time of mine hands I have been in my workshop building and creating these new effects. I am having fun and at the same time I am getting my ideas out of my head and turning them into a valuable tool for my programs.

I maybe producing a new video sharing with you my ideas and teaching you to make your own versions of these new effects. Would that interest you?

I am eager to hear from you all....

The Illusion of Ecomonics

Are you participating in the down economy?

"Is you income disappearing?"
Here is a link to an article titled: "Income for magicians disappearing.."
Printed in the Los Angeles Daily News
April 18, 2009

Does your income appear to be disappearing?

Do you feel you are a victim of the economy?
Think about this....

The truth....its a choice you have made, either by
planning or NOT planning.... there are no victims!!!

As a magicians you can either do what they always
have done in the past or you can evolve and discover
new markets. Times are changing.

I want to help save you from the pain and frustration.
If you are making a living at magic and and you are
looking for new money making markets then you need help
and fast.

First you must understand what is happening....

Do you know the story of "Who Moved My Cheese?"

In years past in my Motivational Magic e-Newsletters I have addressed this topic.

Now the story is come true for so many magicians.

The money is still out there...it just moved now you have to find it.
People still enjoy magic. All you have do is find the markets need your talent.

If you need help...contact me and I will be happy to help you find your cheese once again.

Don't Be a Fool and Wait

Don't wait until you have you been asked to present a motivational magic program. Prepare yourself now! Don't torture yourself and destroy your professional image by quickly developing a motivational magic program after you have been asked. Waiting until the last minute will be frustrating.

You have to figure out what your message will be, how to best script it, which tricks to use, and then practice them till you know they are presentable.

You would be surprised of the number of people who call me at the last moment needing a magic trick to illustrate a motivational magic message. First they need it right away and then they want my help writing their script not to mention they need the time to practice the whole routine.

Why do that to your self? If that how you perceive “Motivational Magic” then I suggest you stop fooling yourself. Why wait until you have been asked?

If you find yourself working for clients who are looking for more than a magic show rather an inspirational/motivational program with a little bit of entertainment to make it fun then start now!

Don’t wait until the last minute. Prepare yourself now. Decide now what topics you want to focus upon. Start writing your scripts and carefully choose the effects you want to use to illustrate your message.

Test Them Out

After you have decided what topics you want to address (also note the ones you do NOT want to address) you need to pick an effect that will best illustrate your message. Test them out.

Put one of your new motivational magic tricks in the middle of your current magic shows. Test it out on the audience’s you currently are performing for. You don’t have to deliver the whole message, just enough to perform the effect. Decide if it fits you. Master the skills needed to create the effect. Make it a part of you.

I found people appreciate a short motivational message in the middle of a show for entertainment purposes. Make sure it is entertaining, fun and magical. It also advertises your ability to present such a program to those interested.

Deciding now what effects you want to use to illustrate your motivational messages will put you ahead of the game. You routines will look more professional and you will enjoy your work as a professional motivational magician.

One more secret, once you start your work on creating a list of routines and effects for your motivational programs you will be unconsciously begin to attract those types of programs toward you. You be making more money resulting from better paying bookings and at the same time enjoying the process. Why, because they want it and you created it.
