hey I have my first gig or whatever you wanna call it coming up and I have been doing magic for about a year. They want to pay me 50$ for an hour but I dont think i have an hour worth of stuff to do. I need tips on filling up time or tips in general on anything i should know.
You shouldve thought twice about accepting that gig then.
For an hour? Ive gotten by on about 10 or so effects just cause thats MY personal fave number to be at for effects for gigs of an hour.
First off,dont be like other magicians with the personality of a brick. Talk to them.Lengthen the effect and make them CARE about whats going to happen. Nothing kills magic like lack of motivation.
Also,again,talk to them. Be conversational and dont make it seem your just there to do the job and thats it.
Take breaks in between some sets of performances. Dont just dish everything out all at once.Thats madness.
Are you table hopping or is it just a "people all around" party?
Give us more info than that.
