If anyone needs help booking gigs then send me an email and I'll give you a video I'm making about the $12,500 gig (1 hour strolling) I booked in Finland this May. In the video I explain what I did to get the gig and other gigs. But if you're not getting the gigs you want then the question you...

If you don't want me to post on theory11 then no problem

I can't believe you guys are encouraging someone to NOT go after their dreams. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4DcjQx2KLo

I never said anything about winning.

Draven to win the lottery you have to take action....you have to buy a ticket. The definition of luck means something happens with a lack of action. Even someone who buys a lottery ticket takes some kind of action.

Derren is great. I'm a firm believer in that you create your own opportunities. The definition of luck is: Success or failure apparently brought by chance rather than through one's own actions Success doesn't come from chance.

To win the lotto you must buy a ticket (aka take action). Someone who takes action isn't lucky.

btw....there is no such thing as luck ;)

Jacob, To make magic as your career you have to work extremely hard. You can't say to yourself, "I know I'm a hard worker"...you have to do it. Sit down at your computer and contact a minimum of 100 people per day (either on phone or email). At first it sucks because you will contact people for...

"Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen." - Michael Jordan Simon I'm not saying that you shouldn't be "scared"...I'm saying that if anyone lets fear get in their way then they don't deserve the results (and won't get the results). The only way people...

That doesn't mean you shouldn't start a business. I'm a firm believer in one thing...if you're scared to do something then you don't deserve the results. I would rather try something and fail than not try it at all.

Rick, Having a family, etc etc is all the more reason why you should run your own business. People who run their own business have much more time to spend with family than someone with a 9-5 job. There is a guy from Canada named Scott Burton who just decided to quit his job and perform full...

Rick, One thing about running a business is money management. I've learned how to "spend" my money and not just save it. So while others are spending it on ways to "keep up with the Jones"...I don't. I don't have a wife and kids (I don't like kids) :)...I paid for my car, so no payments. I...

I perform full time and you can definitely make a ton of money when you run your own business....but...it's not easy. You're basically running your own business so you must be very disciplined in setting your own schedule, marketing, etc. The more you work on your business, the more you make...

Jacob, When I call the person back, I just tell them that I got their message and start asking them questions about the event. I always try to figure out...are they calling to hire ME? Or are they calling to hire a MAGICIAN/MENTALIST? If they're calling to hire me, then they're already sold...

Jacob you're very close to the reason on why I don't answer phone calls. There are several reasons. First, I'm a big believer on time management. I set my schedule for the day...and script every minute of the day. So will look like something like 8-10am (get ready, eat, work out) 10am-12pm...

Which books? The one by Robert Cialdini, Dave Lakahni, Joe Sugarman, and Michael Lee are the ones I recommend.

13 Steps is just a mentalism book and has nothing to do with persuasion. When you say you need books on persuasion I think you actually mean more showmanship books. Persuasion books basically tell you how to "sell" something. So you're not persuading someone to think of a word...you're...

Thanks. There are tons of videos on my youtube page and website if you want to check them out ;)

A friend of mine went to my gig last night and recorded me performing so I thought you guys might want to check it out. Quarter Bend: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erCvSlMcn6o PK Time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jviQUqjaaeU PK Touch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Os-rfuZ_0k
