Well finally got called for my first corporate gig at the Omni. Granted it is strolling but since I do mentalism, I thought I would post here. I will also be wearing all black at their request which suits my style. The only other entertainment will be a guitarist and caricature. It is for 2 hours.
I hope this will pave the way for future corporate gigs and my goal of being selected for a stage/parlor type show. I really don't know how to market a mentalism stage show because normally they think illusions when they select a "magician" for stage. Would speaker/entertainer suffice or just tell them in a paragraph?

Whatever you do Sir, Please and I repeat Please don't call yourself Candini when you perform Mentalism.
If you feel that you need a dini in your name for whatever reason, may I suggest that you call yourself Mindini. The new Avatar is a welcome addition to your identity here, but if you don't change your name, one would think that you somehow managed to get a candy wrapper stuck to your face and miss your point. Congratulations on your engagement, With Deep Regard, Beauregard |

May I suggest Candida? Or Candoodi? or Candoodiwoodi?
Oh... and try to get pre-payment. Right then, I think that's about all for now, good luck. Bobser. Just an after thought... How about: 'Candideewoodeedoodi?' Again, good luck. Bobser

Good luck to you! If I were able to book the gig myself i.e without the help of an agent, I would pass out those business cards! You wouldn't want to do that if you got the gig thru an agent or a promoter.
All the best, Richard K

Seems like SPEAKER or ENTERTAINER will work. You just don't want to be a MAGICIAN, and people don't really know what a MENTALIST is (in general). Maybe say PSYCHIC ENTERTAINER, or MINDWARPER .
Kaylan PS...I agree - don't be called _____ini if you plan on doing mentalism |

Ah, well, not all is lost...you probably get to keep the deposit under your agreement with them.

I just did a strolling gig where senior citizens were touring. It seems they love to laugh. As everyone knows, Patrick Kuffs combines comedy and mentalism.
This went over well last night. And they knew me as Candini. Mystic: The agency of course will keep my info for further engagements. They asked about a deposit and I told them don't worry about it. I wanted my foot in the door with them. I've read to keep in good graces with these people. I didn't really need the money, it was the exposure to my act I was mostly concerned about. In fact, I almost offered a money back guarantee. I'm not being cocky, I just know what I have to offer and I don't see anyone performing the kind of show I put on in my area. I talked to the owner last night where I work. He gets cancellations also. If they don't fill the tour buses completely, they cancel or so it appears. Thanks!
