What is a Magician Job Description and can they earn a living?

Is a Magician job description even a thing?

Do people even consider the occupation of a magician to be a job? I recall often times when I would be out performing magic gigs, as a full-time performer, they would often ask what do you do for a real job?

At times, I would feel insulted, but then thinking it through, it does seem pretty amazing, that a person can earn their living by doing magic tricks.

As a full-time professional, I was pretty much working through the late 70s, 80s and then 90s. I would perform at corporate events like their awards banquet, holiday parties, company picnics and sales meetings.

Then, for fairs and festivals I would perform at city celebrations and county fairs.

There were always fundraisers and gals that were looking for entertainment, and I was there to add a magic touch.

This performance career, did evolve into being an entertainment agency where I would get gigs for other performers. I also then got into the event industry, where I was producing events and then tradeshows and expos.

So yes! It can be done.

Being in the entertainment business, you need to have a business mind as well as an entertainer mind.

In the video below, I have a conversation with my magician colleague and friend Steven Hart. He is also a professional performer and has had many successes in his life.

Watch the video, and give me some of your thoughts, comments and ideas.

The Chanhassen Dinner Theatre schedule is available for your next event!

I can’t remember the last time I needed a Chanhassen Dinner Theatre schedule to plan my entertainment.

I recall going there for some family events, and I have wanted to go out there and take some of Stevie Ray’s Improv classes but have not yet committed to do so.

By the way, I am pretty impressed with Stevie Ray, with all he has accomplished. I remember when he had a little comedy club in uptown.

For those of you that are in the event planning industry, you might consider going out to the Chanhassen Dinner Theater for a group event. Bring your employees or your clients and customers.

The Stevie Ray improv classes would also be great for involving employees in teambuilding activities.

Do you have some suggestions of events and activities that would be great for Corporate Events or Group functions?

Another activity would be the Saint Paul Saints, or a cruise on The Mississippi river or Lake Minnetonka with Paradise Charters.

If you would like to throw your own party, perhaps a casino theme would be a lot of fun. My friend MariJo Greeman over at Las Vegas Tonight would love to help you with your next employee Party, Plant Appreciation or fundraising event.

And if you would like to spice it up, consider a sweet treat from PoppedCorn and my friend Sue Michaletz can help you.

I interviewed a Reno Magician and his name is Dean Hankey

I interviewed a Reno magician and his name is Dean Hankey.

In the video below, you can watch our conversation as we talk about the business of show business. Dean shares some simple yet powerful ideas for those that want to either become full-time professional as an entertainer or performer. Or if they want to expand and accelerate their success.

Most people, think that marketing is all about getting huge numbers to see your offer. While talking with Dean, I learned that it is more about giving so you can receive, rather than pushing information.

We also talked about the power of words, because words have meaning. It is very important when communicating both in person or online that you choose the right words.

Here are some links to some of the offers available from Dean.
