This is the first time I have received an request about a booking over the internet. What questions do you normally ask with bookings? I have not done a paid show for a while now. How do you do it professionally, do you have contracts or forms? What business work do you sort out with the...

If you want to research magic, as in the magic industry itself, or the history, or on particular aspects, or on specific artists, how would be the best way to do so? I understand that there must be books out there to buy, but are there other ways which are a reliable source?

When being a magician, do you need to be yourself? Or act like a character? Or have a theme going on? Or a certain style? How should it be? Or are there no limits? As far as I know, you need to be unique...

Which genre, which artist, which music is the best for magic? I understand that there are so many different types of music which can suit everyone. From understanding in the past from other magicians, the music is best to not have any lyrics, otherwise you will have half the audience...

I am after manipulation balls for a stage act. The problem is, I need them to bounce, and I need different colours in order to do colour changes. Anyone know where they sell such item?
