Are you ready for some magic?
There are solo magicians today who are making over $20,000 per performance, while those in the big leagues routinely bring in over $20 million a year. How did they get there and what are the keys to their success? What skills and techniques do they possess and deploy that can be easily adapted for your own personal use? In this book, you will learn of the key attitudes and practices that propel their success, as well as the path they have paved for other magicians and performers.
We look at the magic industry through the lens of two of its most celebrated performers, Penn and Teller, who are not just as magicians and entertainers, but smart entrepreneurs running a global entertainment business.
Through shows like Penn and Teller Fool Us, America's Got Talent, Britain's Got Talent, and The World's Best, and through social media outlets like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube, contemporary magicians have an unprecedented opportunity to make themselves known to a global audience. The success secrets followed by the likes of Penn and Teller, David Copperfield, David Blaine, Criss Angel, and newer stars like Shin Lim, Dynamo, and Ryan Hayashi, both as professional magicians and business owners, can be applied by entrepreneurs, business people and self starters everywhere who want to make a mark in their careers.
In this book, you will not only learn how these stars successfully overcame their challenges, but also how YOU can transform your approach to magic and business.
