So I have a full time job as a programmer, its cool job and it's relatively good money. But since I really love magic and have been doing it for 6 years for myself, friends and family I would like to start getting a few gigs here and there on the side (so, not full time).
My question is, if I want to perform once-twice a week, whats business side of getting gigs? By that I mean, do I have to make some kind of contract? What about payment, cash on hand or on bank account? Do I have to deal with some kind of paperwork to make everything legit and what not? I know full time magicians have a company or small business so they manage everything like that. Is that only if you're going full time or?
Basically, how do I get gigs and get paid as an individual not doing it full time.
Thanks a lot.
