#1 Street Magic for Fun and Profit
Businesses are always looking for new ways
to get information out about their services. On more
than one occasion you’ve probably been confronted
by a scary street person handing out flyers for auto
insurance or some other product. If street
performing is your thing, you can use your magic
skills to promote businesses by performing for
people and then handing out a flyer for their
company. You can do this by performing in one
place, waiting for a crowd to gather and then
handing out the flyer. People will be surprised by
the fact that you’re not asking for tips. Your final
effect should work in a pitch for the company and
end with a flyer in everyone’s hands. They’re much
more likely to remember what you’re selling and to
mention you to the business if they decide to go
there.
It’s a gutsy way to do magic, but it’s a way to
get paid to perform on the street, without having to
work for tips.

#7 Holiday Themed Magic
Do you have a Christmas show? How about a
Hanukah show? Do you do anything special for
Halloween? Instead of trying to sell the same act to a
different people at all times of the year, come up with
different themes you can sell to existing customers.
The people that hire you to perform for their open
house might like to bring you back to do your Halloween
show. If you’re in a market with a lot of other magicians,
differentiate yourself by being topical. Most magicians
just have one act. Have several that feature different
themes. This gives you more product to offer, and
increases the chance that your potential customers
will see something they like. Saying you can do
mentalism or escapes, isn’t as marketable as saying
you’ve got a really fun Christmas themed show. People
have a much easier time imagining how they can utilize
that (for their Christmas part) than imagining what
they’d do with an escape artist.
Photos of what the show looks like will help your
clients better understand what the theme will mean.
If it’s a Halloween show, use Halloween props, etc.

#18 The Magic-Gram
Instead of performing shows for groups of
people, you can use your skills as a magician to
deliver messages to an individual. A Magic-Gram is
a version of a singing telegram where you perform a
trick for someone and then deliver a message. This
can be for birthdays, anniversaries or other special
occasions. You can offer special services like
producing flowers at the end of the effect. Your
clients would be people who are looking to surprise
someone with something different. You can talk to a
flower shop about setting up an arrangement where
they can offer your services to customers who are
looking for “something different”.
The magic should be quick and flashy. In most
case you would want to look like an exaggerated
caricature of a magician. The point of it is to surprise
the person with your presence, your magic, and your
message.
