Default Re: Another Look At My Performing Life

You are right on the money Glenn.

Magicians are ALWAYS looking for a NEW trick or twist on an existing effect that can blow away a spectators mind.

Most of the successful tricks sold are sold using video of LIVE performances on the street or parties where spectators have the magic happen under their noses...
close-up magic.

As far as something that seems to have legs is training "roundtables" where a group of performers trains LIVE via ZOOM or other platform while keeping the focus on one type of effect.

Believe it or not the KID SHOW market makes the MOST money for successful performers... It is consistent, easy, and fun to do. There are always birthday parties, first communion parties, first-grade graduation parties, and the like ALL THE TIME.

In addition, I used to perform at DAYCARE centers several times a year and the kids MOBBED me because they were so happy to see me. As a result of the daycare shows, I often picked up birthday parties as well.

Hope this helps Glenn.
