Magic is the art of diverting the attention of the audience by creating an illusion that amuses them and creates an impact that something extraordinary had been performed. The act is definitely entertaining. Nevertheless, the reality is that it is just an illusion.

However, the income that the magicians derive from performing such activities is not an illusion. It is real money. They use the money that they have earned to buy their necessities in order to survive.

What most people sometimes forget is that magicians are people, too, who need a job to earn a living. They do not have powers like what they appear on stage to create money and make it appear on top of the hat.

That's why it is important for every magician to know how to increase their bookings because it is the only way they can increase their incomes.

For people who want to know how to land a gig as a magician, here is a list of some tips that can be used:

1. Print ads can do the job.

If a magician really wants to increase his bookings, onet way to advertise his craft is to place a "one column inch" advertisement in the newspaper. This size is already enough to catch the attention of people who are trying to find magicians.

Best of all, with this size, the price "magicians" have to pay is very affordable.

2. Perform your best on every show.

It is true, indeed, that people will cease patronizing something if they have found out that it's not worth their money. For magicians who want to always have bookings waiting for them, it is best to stop counting their schedules and pay attention to their presentation.

It would be better if they will hone their skills and improve their craft so that they can always have the best entertainment they can provide to their audience. From here, bookings will soon follow. This is because one of the most effective forms of advertisement is through the "word of mouth."

If people like what they see they will talk about it. Their praise will spread among peers and social groups, which in turn, will reap more bookings.

Boiled down, there's no secret in marketing the business in order to earn a booking. What magicians should always remember is that it is important to improve their skills in order to earn a booking because it is through their performance that the next show will follow.
