I humbly disagree Brad. I think it would be horribly foul to ask or suggest tips, but I believe it rude to not accept. Maybe discuss with the host before the gig for their input. Bottom line: get any interested party's information and you make the initiative to follow up with them. Don't...

I would like to point out that the original post called for a situation that a working professional shouldn't be caught in. I said you shouldn't be in a situation that you get asked to perform and have nothing ready. I always keep a deck of cards, three silver coins, a shell, and my wallet...

Congrats on the gig! With the photographer, make SURE the client knows about it and is okay with it. Not all private parties, especially higher end ones, are kosher with having someone taking pictures. What kind of party is it? If it is a special event, IE: Birthday/ Wedding/...

Don't spend too long on studying. Books and DVD's are great studies in theory. But you'll quickly find that theory doesn't always hold up well in practice. It's more of a general guideline for how things -should- work. A very general guide line. Nothing will teach you better than...

Unless you have an active resume with past experience I wouldn't push for more. Give it 3 months then renegotiate.

Wow no one responded to this? I'm shocked. Let me switch to a computer(from my itouch) and Ill give a better more thought out response.

actually 25$ an hour plus tip isn't bad for a "new" magician working a food gig. Your experienced workers make on average 60 to 75 so your not selling yourself -too short. Gotta start somewhere, and at the least the gig pays. You'll walk out with $200+ a night easy. Good job!

Why not? We reveal magic for the Internet and network tv, ...and we don't even know those people!

The answer to your question is Never. If you are even remotely serious about making something for yourself in magic then you should always be able to do 30 mintues out of your wallet. At the very least.

Seeing as how I'm an adult, my answers are going to be diffrent than some forum contributers, as I am over the age of 18 and legally could be held accountable for the actions of the minors in this case. First off, if the majority of the attending party was over the age of 21 and between the...

I've got some notes for your friend. I mean all of this in the most constructive way possible. I think her performance was good, but I would have liked to see more of her. I didn't like the splicing element in the music video. The video opens with Spears and then cuts into Cass's rap...

Aussie Aussie Aussie? I have no clue mate about gaffed Australian currency. Your probably better off checking your local magic dealer or studing the slights in JT Bobo's "Modern Coin Magic." As for the card reveal try Triumph. Killer effect it is.

I do agree. The statement is harsh. Times change, and with the advent of modern technology comes newer ways to do comerece. Selling a book, or selling a video is the same thing when you boil it down to basics. The artist is selling their information on either their handeling or their effect...

Ah yeah. You're standing on a point that is about as stable as a one legged table with an entire team of celtic tap dancers performing on its top. While I've heard of Tannens, and of course I know Dryer, I deal most of my magical purchases through my local shop out where I live (in...

Come now, don't back away with your tail between your legs just yet. I'm trying to give you a chance to shine here. Do you honestly know how many "denny's" there are in the universe? Don't name drop and then back away from providing clarification. I know of a few Denny's, Haney being one...

Then may I suggest that you supply a better list of examples for those young adults who may be interested in performing Gospel Magic to better educate them and guide them on their way?

Seeing how I posted directly after yours... yes. That would be a good assumption. That's really odd seeing how Wayne Houchin, Justin Miller, Danial Garcia and several others seem to be doing quite well for themselves in the video market. Unless you've got a marketing degree or the...

Allright hot shot. If you got something better, lets see you type out an essay and submit it for everyone to read.

...so it's wrong for someone to try and make a living?
