50 Secrets to Successful Magic - eBook

Being a successful magician requires so much more than just learning a few magic tricks or card tricks.

50 Secrets to Successful Magic helps you understand the "business" side of show business, from different types of venues and audiences to effective ways to market your show.

Remember the old days when all a magician had to do was practice a few cards tricks and a sponge ball routine, put on his bow tie and then show the guests a few parlor tricks as they looked on admiringly? OK, maybe those days never even existed, but being a magician these days requires more knowledge and inside information than ever. There are more types of venues, more types of audiences, and you need not only the skills of a magician, but the foresight of a business man, the creativity of a marketing expert and the social expertise of a master diplomat. And that's just for starters.
