Refusing a tip is an artform all it's own, definitely! It's a fine line between: polite/rude. There comes a moment when you have to accept...

I always do a complete refresher of my "9", three days before the event. Every single time. I'll go through them around ten times apiece.

I've experimented a lot over the years and, even though it's hard to gauge, I go with: Hi "Event Planner's Name"! Dear "Event Planner's Name", ~ too serious. Hi "Event Planner's Name", ~not fun. Howdy "Event Planner's Name" ~ only works for Mac King. Whasssup?!! ~ tempting...

You nailed it with the first one on your list! Number of people will be one of the biggest deciding factors on pricing.

Hiya Robert! Thanks for posting! You've got great questions that pertain to what I think a lot of people would like to do. So... Let me say that I'm a big believer in "dream big". However, I'm also a believer in practical goal setting. There's a big difference to "I want to be a millionaire...

Hiya Gang! Okay, so you've been doing close-up for a while now and are confident of your game. Event planners like you, clients rebook you, and you're firing on all cylinders. The question is, do you now create a stage show? Is it necessary? Will it get you more money? My advice...

I just wanted to say "Thanks" to everyone who's purchased this limited AIP bottle so far! It's truly an honour to have them in your homes and offices. Thank you!

Just got back from dropping one with Anthony Owen in London. I'll have some footage to follow...

I'm just at a cafe so I can't write a lot, but luckily I don 't have to as David Regal was quite succinct in his advice he gave me years ago... "If you're going to get any printing done, get it done within walking distance." ~jdg

Just checking in, while I'm on the road, and thought I'd toss out this question as something to think about: When replying to someone asking for a quote, what other factors can help you determine pricing?

Just checking in, while I'm on the road, and thought I'd toss out this question as something to think about: When sending e-mails to a client in response to a quote question, how do yo start? Dear Sir/Madame? Hi? Their name, followed by a comma?

Just checking in, while I'm on the road, and thought I'd toss out this question as something to think about: How much time do you spend practicing (not performing) effects you already know? How often do you "refresh"?

Just checking in, while I'm on the road, and thought I'd toss out this question as something to think about: When you politely refuse a tip, what exactly do you say?

Just checking in, while I'm on the road, and thought I'd toss out this question as something to think about: On your card, what do you call yourself? Magician? Entertainer? Sleight-of-Hand Artist?

Just checking in, while I'm on the road, and thought I'd toss out this question as something to think about: Do you have alternative methods for all your effects, in case someone asks you to show them something again? Is this necessary?

Ha! I don't! (Even now - In a Paris hotel room - I'm writing, lol) ~ and checking Theory 11 forums :p

Hiya Gang! I'm going to be off the grid for almost a month so I though I'd leave you with these thoughts. If you want catch up on what I've been talking about already, feel free to check out these threads: A) Rates FAQ 2.0 (how much to charge) by Jamie D. Grant Essay #1 B) The single most...

Ah, the bottle site. That's done somewhat intentionally actually... But that's for a later psychology discussion, lol. Also, "kids" is spelled incorrectly on your card. It should be "kid's" since it has "your" before it. It also reads as the kid is having a private event, fundraiser, or...
