Send him a pm.
I don't make a living strictly from magic, but this show would have been one that I could have started to charge more for.
I really hope you didn't just insult me.
Charging more simply because someone HAS more seems misguided (if not unethical).
Other means of payment could also be used in lieu of cash. As michael ammar once said, I might do a show for free but I won't do it for nothing
No, I was just saying that of all the states, Texas loves Capital Punishment the most. They kill more criminals by far than any other state. In 2009 they killed 24 people, the second highest state was Ohio with 5. lol.
So the idea that you are for it and live in Texas isn't really surprising, that's all.
I presume that you also believe that charging people LESS simply because they cannot afford it would also be unethical to the clients that you charge regularly then right?

Charging more simply because you landed one big gig seems misguided.
You should start charging more when you have greater value to offer. And then, you should still charge slightly less than the value you deliver.
But that's just an opinion. Not everyone wants to give their clients more than they pay for - but some do.
5000 is a bit much man. The max I have seen a professional charge is between 500-700 and they have their own lights, sound, everything. Good luck is all I can say if you want to charge 5 grand lol. Especially if its in this economy. But then again I live in a poorer area, small town Texas. Maybe in a big city that might work but still. 5,000....
Heh, it is a very different economy where I live. Granted that is just a scale and I don't charge anywhere near 5000 (nor is my show worth that), but consider that someone like Steve Cohen can get paid 10 - 20,000 for a private party show (info from his website).
Corporate professionals get paid thousands to do what they do. One guy I recently spoke to over the phone said he won't even leave the house for less than a thousand.
I'm not there, but I'd love to be eventually. Constantly refining and working on my show at a part time is a slow process, but It's getting better and better all the time.
