Hey man!!!! I'm in high school and I perform all the time!!! Over the years I've made a reputation and now people come up to me and ask me to do a trick, I hardly ever approach anyone anymore.
I perform anything. It doesn't really matter what you perform. I do effects such as: Prophet, Stigmata, some ACR, Angle Zero, ect.
I first performed for my friends and some of their friends, and what happens is that they tell their friends and I perform for them, and then they will tell their friends and it just continues to spread.... It's awesome!!
After awhile it becomes very easy, the only hard part about it is that sometimes at the end of the week, you're tired and you don't feel like doing anything and people will ask you to do a trick alot, and of course you can't say no, it's just bad manners. But it's worth it!!1
Good luck man!!! Just message me if you have any other questions!!!
