How do I sell my own magic?

StevenLevitt · Feb 23, 2009

I have created a few magic effects, and I have never sold them before. I was hoping I could give other magicians a chance to learn some hard hitting magic which I have created. However, how would I put my magic effects onto the market?

I am from the UK if that is any help, but this magic could easily be supplied worldwide.

If anyone here has any information about selling magic, please help me out.

All help is appreciated.

Make sure it's new and not been done before and it's a variation then be sure to do enough research to find out who's and then give proper credit.

Yeah they have definitely not been created before.

Steven, can you send me a PM detailing the effects you want to market? With more info I may be able to point you in the right direction

If you want me to explain the magic effect to you, that is not being told yet.

However, I can tell you they are close-up effects.

If you want a PDF, I can help. PM if you want.

Sell it through your own site, then you dont have to pay loyalty.

My own website is for the public, and I do not want to be selling them to my customers. Unless I create another website for magicians. However, I do not mind loyalties.

Most sites will accept submissions (Such as E, Theory11 etc) to see if your effect is good enough.

If not, there are several smaller sites which should be able to help, like BlackLine, and PaperCrane.

Thats fair enough Steven. I was going to suggest some avenues you could take, but without knowing any more detail, I can't really add to whats already been said.

Good luck!

I would say try out mindlapse productions (23:23) or Mental Playground Productions (Flicker) both great production companies. or, if you're willing to wait a little bit, blackline productions.

It is a bold statement saying that "it has never been created before." I hope you have read your fair share of magic books, because you are claiming that you have come up with something that the world's best magicians have never done. I am inclined to think you need to do some more research. Ask the people over at the magic cafe and see where you stand.

If you are looking to sell your stuff... put it in PDF form, create a simple site, paypal account, and get started. Maybe ask a fellow magician in the UK if he thinks your stuff is marketable. However, dont just ask some joe schmoe magician who is the same level or below you... ask a professional.
