With the new year, many of us will be thinking," I'm gonna go pro as a mentalist". I've posted a thread In Tricky business on some points to consider before you ever even start your business.

I posted this in the other forum but wanted to do it here also.
This may be common sense but it hasn't been mentioned yet. To be professional one is paid. To maintain professionalism one needs to be good. Often times the two are not synonymous. My point is that the chops one gets from performing is the only way to really be professional. The advice I would give to anyone wanting to make magic their career would be to start on the street. You decide when you will and won't work. It won't interfere with the job that pays the bills. It's a true gauge of your abilities as if they don't like you no money will be in your bowl. And the contacts you make can be the most important people you ever bring in your life outside of your family. Before ever giving up my day job I'd be sure that I could pay my bills with the money I made on the street. No other venue will give you more answers than the hard knocks of street performing. Jmo of course.
No matter how many times you say the wrong thing, it will NEVER be right.
If I'm not responding to you? It's because you're a TROLL! |
