Who can benefit from the Success-In-Magic program?

Anyone who has a burning passion for performing magic AND wants to get paid for it, should seriously consider investing in this program. 

If you are just starting out in the business, hoping to make the transition from amateur to professional, the Success-In-Magic program will cut at least five years off your learning curve.

If you have been performing for several years and want to give your career a boost, then this program will help you reach new markets at higher fees. 

Although specifically created for magicians, other variety entertainers, such as mentalists, hypnotists, jugglers, ventriloquists, clowns, and story tellers will also find the principles, strategies and tactics powerful in their business.

What's the best way to get bookings fast ?

Ahh... that's what everybody really wants to know.

The answer depends...are you the assertive, sales focused type with a high tolerance for rejection?  You could try cold calling potential clients to pitch your show, although personally I've never felt comfortable with that strategy. 

One simple technique I use often to get bookings fast is to be featured in a newspaper story.  Every time I've gotten in the newspaper, my telephone has rung off the hook with bookings.

You will learn you exactly how to do the same...and that's only one of the tools I give you for marketing your show.  I'll also teach you the inside secrets of direct mail, showcases, public relations, networking and referral strategies that have kept my date booked filled for over two decades.

Let's be clear about one thing, however.  This program is not about quick fixes, it's about building a long term career doing something you love...performing magic.  If that is your goal, the Success-In-Magic program can help.

How long will it take to build my magic business?

That depends upon a number of things, including how talented you are, how marketable your show is, and how hard you are willing to work.

There are a number of people who will promise to show you how to book  thirty or forty shows a month in no time at all.  Yes, you can do that many shows a month, and I'll show you how, but that's no way to build a professional practice.  You'll wear out in a month and not make much money because your fees will be too low.

You can start your part-time business as soon as you have about 30-minutes of magic that you can perform.  That's about 6-8 typical routines.

If you want to build a full-time business, plan on spending up to three to five years building your business to a point where it can support you and your family at a decent standard of living.  That's what business consultants recommend for any new business.  Yes, you may be able to do it faster, if you have the right knowledge and skills.

Be aware, however, that most small business fail in the first five years.  To avoid that fate, you should be like a sponge, soaking up everything you can learn about the business of magic from those who have gone before you.

Who is Jim Snack and why is he offering this course now?

For three decades I've been fortunate to make a good living as a professional magician. 

You won't read a lot about me in the magic magazines, (although once I was featured in an article on the business of magic in Stan Allen's MAGIC magazine) because that was never part of my marketing strategy.  The people who hire me don't read those magazines. 

I have worked in just about every venue available for magicians, including corporate trade shows, colleges, schools, fairs and festivals - from the streets of New York to the casinos of Atlantic City.   I know from experience what it takes to succeed in this business.

After earning my living for over two decades exclusively from performing magic, I decided to shift my business nine years ago to focus on something I love as much as performing - teaching.

Today, I still accept many magic show bookings, but most of my income comes from motivational speaking using magic as my "hook.."  (If you want to learn more about that business, visit my other website:  http://www.jimsnack.com )

For the past several years I have seen a number of business packages become available for beginning magicians, and I have to admit, I'm a bit skeptical.  I wonder how many of these so-called "experts" have really prospered from performing.  I suspect that many of them have made more money from other activities...like internet marketing, perhaps?

Furthermore, with few exceptions, most of the courses I've seen were lacking in some way.  Either they were too narrowly focused on marketing, with nothing about personal development or improving your show, or they focused too much on general business strategies, without specific solutions to the problems professional magicians confront every day.

For the past five years I have been writing about my experiences as a professional magician, all the strategies and tactics, tools and techniques that have enabled me to prosper in this business for over two decades.  So far, I've written over 500 pages, and it keeps growing.

My intention in offering the Success-In-Magic course is to provide anyone who is seriously thinking about making the leap from amateur to professional magic the tools needed to build their business and manage their career.  If you are just starting out in the business, it will take you at least 10 years to gain the accumulated knowledge I'm offering. 

There is nothing on the market that even comes close to being as comprehensive.

Why re-invent the wheel; I've done all the hard work for you.  Invest 30 days, and you'll cut at least five years off your learning curve...guaranteed!

Please note:  although I will show you how to make money with magic, if you are only interested in a making quick buck, I'd rather you look elsewhere.  This is for people who love magic as much as I do and who want to grow as a paid professional entertainer.

Do you guarantee results?

The level of success you achieve in magic will depend upon a number of factors, including your belief in yourself, your vision and your level of commitment.   You will also need a good act and solid business acumen.  Consider this:

Michael Mills, theatrical producer and former personal manager of The Pendragons, said in a recent interview, "anybody who really hones their act and has some basic level of business skills can make it these days....there is as much as a demand, or more of a demand, for good quality acts as there is supply." 

While no one can guarantee that you will achieve your dreams, I can offer this guarantee:

Don't decide now.  Try the Success-In-Magic course for 90 days.  Read the manuals and bonus reports.  Try the techniques.  Take advantage of your free 30-minute consultation and 90 days of unlimited email support.  If you don't agree that your investment is worth every penny, send it back for a refund. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.  What could be more fair than that?  Click here for more specific information regarding our refund policy.
