We are not done yet...Order today, I will include, absolutely FREE, these SPECIAL REPORTS:

Okay, you ask, what's it going to cost for this program? Less than what you will make from the first show you book.  There are three versions of the Success in Magic Home Study Course for you to choose from:

Bronze Version  (Electronic Download)

This is the quickest, easiest, and least expensive way for you to gain access to The Success in Magic home study course. You can download all the written components immediately in "digital" format, or access them while connected to the Internet if you prefer.

With the Bronze Version, you get instant access to the home study course manuals and special reports, and there are no taxes, duties, or shipping charges (which is especially important if you live outside the United States).

The Bronze Version includes two comprehensive manuals, three bonus reports, and a "Quick Start Guide." Over 650 pages of valuable business building information.

The audio seminars are not included with the Bronze Version, nor is the Magic Show & Ice Cream Social Special Report and Artwork, but I do include the following special bonuses -- all designed to guide you simply and easily to build your business; maximize your profits, personal income and wealth.

Special Bonus #1: Personalized Coaching and Support

Whenever you learn something new, there are always questions. One of the problems I always noticed with traditional "success systems" was that after you bought the book or tape set or attended the seminar, there was no way to get your questions answered or personal attention as you started to apply what you learned in your daily life.

So, as a special added bonus, I'm including a free 30-minute career consultation by phone or email.  It's like having your own magic success coach.  I warn you, however, I don't watch the clock and sometimes the session ends up lasting for much,  much longer.

Special Bonus #2:  90 Days of Follow-up E-mail Support

You can ask an unlimited number of questions, anytime for 90 days, and get answers from me personally.  To me, the career consultation and follow-up support is worth the full tuition for the System!

Special Bonus #3: Free Critique of Your Promotional Materials

Send me your promotional materials and I'll give my honest assessment.  Improve your web site, video demo tape and/or brochures.

Special Bonus #4: Business Opportunity - Success-In-Magic Affiliate Program

A special opportunity to earn generous commissions for simply recommending the Success-In-Magic program to others.  Recoup your entire investment with just a few referrals.

Your tuition for all these components of the Bronze Version of Success in Magic Home Study Course is just $97.

Or perhaps you would prefer the:

Silver Version (CD-ROM)

     The Silver Version includes everything in the Bronze Version, including the two comprehensive manuals, three bonus reports, and the Quick Start Workbook.  Over 650 pages of valuable business building information, delivered in digital format (Adobe Acrobat PDF files) on CD-ROM.

Plus, the Silver Version includes ten audio seminars described above, in mp3 format, a $129.50 value if purchased separately.   You can listen to them on your computer or download them to your ipod or other portable mp3 player.  

In addition, you receive the four additional bonuses listed with the Bronze Version above.

Your investment in the Silver Version of the Success in Magic Home Study Course is just $147, plus 3.85 for domestic shipping (international shipping may be higher).   

Finally, there's the:

Gold Version  (Printed Binders and Audio CDs)

The Gold Version includes everything listed above for the Bronze and Silver Versions, and you get everything shipped to you as "hardcopy." 

You'll receive the two main manuals, four special reports and handouts, and the Quick Start Workbook in beautiful 3-ring binders. You'll receive the 9 hours of audio training on CDs and a data CD.

You'll also receive the four special bonuses described above, including the 30-minute career consultation, 90-days of unlimited email support, free critique of your promotional materials, and the Success in Magic Affiliate opportunity.

Oh yes, with both the Silver and Gold Versions you also get instant access to the electronic downloadable version so you can start studying the material even before the hard copy arrives.

Now It's Up To You . . .

I've passed on every significant detail about The Success in Magic Home Study course for your consideration -- what it is, how it can help you build your business and wealth, and examples of how it has changed other people's businesses (including mine).

After you complete The Success in Magic course, I hope you'll write me a letter like Dennis Michael Dowhy of Atco, NJ who says:

"Thank you for the materials you have sent.  I spent twice as much on another course and find your books and bonuses at least ten times better and more directly related to the business side of being an entertainer. The title Success-in-Magic is appropriately named. Your 64 NEW Ways to Make Magic Pay is worth the price of the Success-in-Magic books.

I just can't say enough about your two books & Bonus Reports. So much "good stuff' and every serious minded magician or entertainer should purchase your books. I can't imagine getting into this business without your material.

Understand I owned two corporations, been part time with magic for 40 years and, what much of what you wrote and compiled I learned the hard way. It is so nice to see it finally in print so others don't make the costly mistakes most new businessmen make. It is a must have set of books and they rate five stars out of five stars."

Or maybe you'll be like magician John Robert, who wrote:

"Success in Magic is by far one of the best courses I've found especially for those looking for advanced information.  I rank your product as jam-packed and career changing as Dave Dee's course, Joel Bauer's book and Randy Charac's book.  Every magician should own your course.

 

I literally received the entire course within two days, way beyond my expectations.  I bought the printed version, and I would recommend this to anyone serious about their career.  Great Product, Great Information, Great Price, Great Packaging and a SUPER Great Value...Not just a ton of 'stuff,' but a ton of really useful information from your own experience.  By the way, I can tell from my own real-world experience that you aren't holding anything back.  Your product was WELL worth the few extra dollars I spent for this version.  Thanks again for the wonderful course."
