Being a magician means you are making a career for yourself in show business. You are putting on a show and if you are a serious magician you will expect people to pay for that performance. In essence you have started a business and must be able to run that business effectively if you expect to make a buck.

If you are ready to take the step into being a paid magician then there are a few things to keep in mind:

- Make sure your magic show is of high quality and value for the money

- Decide what type of magician you want to be – children, street, clubs, facilitator, or ice breaker. This decision will impact on how you market your act.

- How much money do you want to make? Do you want to earn from magic full-time or is it more of a part-time gig? Once you have worked this out, you can set aside the appropriate time for both performance and business building.

Initially, you may have to give a few shows for free. Displaying your talents is a good way for people to see if you are the kind of act they want, and that you get a good reaction from the audience. If you are aiming your magic act at kids, then offer to do a free show at a birthday party for a friend or family member. If you want to give magic performances for adults, contact some charity organizations and see if you can perform at one of their events. Perhaps there is a local fair coming up in your neighborhood. If so, contact the organizers and offer to do a free magic show for them. Or you could do street magic in a pub or restaurant for free for a few nights and see if the reaction you get is positive.

So you have booked your first free performance. People will love you and you’ll get heaps of bookings from the show – right? Not if you’re not prepared you won’t. And you need to be prepared both magically (your performance has to be perfect) and business-wise. Make sure you have made business cards and flyers to hand out before and after the show. Make up some colorful posters to put up around the venue. If people like you, they can get your contact details and book you for more shows.

Once you are up and running you can look at other ways to attract customers. Advertising in the local paper or designing a website are good marketing tools. How much will you charge for your performances? Check out what other magicians are charging by contacting your local magic club or store.

Remember if you are a beginner don’t over-price yourself. You want to get the job because you are good and reasonably priced. Once you have built up a good name and following, you can adjust your fees accordingly.
