I recently moved to a very remote place in Northern Alaska. We have a population of only 27 folks. Because of this, my busking hats have been light ,to say the least.
I set up on our Main Street in front of the Hardware Store every Saturday afternoon. Usually there are about 8-10 people that walk by. Sometimes they stop to see a trick, but mostly they need to get stuff from the store and get back home. I thought I would make up for the lost revenue from street performing by doing some table hopping at the local restaurant. There are only four tables in the joint and rarely any customers to occupy them. The fortunate thing is that I'm the only magician in town so there is no worry regarding competition from other performers... I'm keeping my fingers crossed that something big happens here (gold strike?) so more people will move to our small town. If this happens, I should see a big difference in my income as a working pro! |

Rocky...lets face it there isn't to much of a future in a town of 27 to make any kind of money doing magic.Raise sled dogs to sell.

Open your own restaurant, showcase magic and they'll be beating down your doors...
