Hello all,

I am just curious to know if anyone could offer me some advice on how to start performing? I really am at a loss as to how to get going. I’m talking about performing on a stage by the way, where do you even begin to start?

Thank you all in advance for any help and advice you can offer

How long have YOU been doing Magic ?? Any experience with Stage Magic ?? If NO Experience - GIVE Shows at a few Place that can't afford $$-SEE if you CAN Entertain - You didn't say if you had any/or what experience you do have. Your an ARTIST - What Kind? My experience, Parlor/Stage/ Touring - in Magic 70 of my 84 years. Semi-retired last 4 years - but as also an artist, have been Illustrating / Writing Stories of Grandchildren for Grandparents - etc. All I can really say is, DO What YOU Know How to do. Best to you Ralph ROUSSEAU< (Russo)

Hi Russo, I appreciate your quick reply, I’ve been studying magic and Mentalism for the last few years, usually given a small crowd, say for example a party, I feel confident that I can entertain, what’s more is that it feels right, I’ve not felt a feeling quite like it, it’s all consuming. Mostly I am looking to take things up a level but I am willing to admit I don’t know how. If I can be completely honest here and put myself at your mercy, short of calling a club and asking “do you want a magician” I don’t know how to go about things, although as you say, maybe simply calling around might be a decent starting off point

There is a forum thread you may want to visit... Tricky Business.
