This is for those people who either are professionally connected to magic in any way OR are working (at any job) but have continued magic as a hobby.
The first kind:-
I'm always interested the MOST about how people do the shift, from magic as a hobby to magic as a job (whether in consulting or performing or photography or anything), and now that Jonah Babbins (his podcasts are the best imo) has increased my interest in that topic, I want to ask all professionals doing magic in any form, what is YOUR story of switching magic from an impressive (and attention-getting) hobby to an actual job (full-time) ?
The second kind:-
If you do magic but also a totally unrelated job OR perform magic as a part time job, how do you manage to do both simultaneously, devoting equal love and time to both? Or is there a ratio of time devoted to them?
More importantly, why did you make the decision to NOT perform magic professionally full-time, or ended up not doing it as your only (or primary) job?
Please reply for I find these stories fascinating (and inspiring, eye-opening).
Especially since I so recently found out that one can make magic their job without even actively performing it (through business or consulting, etc)...WHO'D HAVE THOUGHT? (I mean, at least 8 y o me had no idea...). The world of magic is beautiful!!
