Let's start here.
When you started in mentalism, you were performing for family and friends. They said how good you were and you should be getting paid for it.
Well isn't that the dream — Getting paid for what you love to do?
So why not...Doing what you love is supposed to be uncomplicated, stress free, and most importantly, it's supposed to be FUN!
So why isn't it fun anymore?
For most, it takes a a few months to realize the truth.The magic shops and pro's teach mentalism tricks, but no one is really teaching the business side of performing mentalism. As you've found out, finding that customer is hard, getting a paid gig is complicated, and the hardest part is knowing where to start.
Most give up at this point! Others search online for answers. It's frustrating because everywhere you look it's just tips on what to do once you are started, but they are not outlining what to do first.
That is why I chose to start this blog by discussing this very topic. So let's start with the most common mistakes made by performers just getting started.
