Magician Business & Marketing

Magicians have a lot of magic stuff. Show props, gimmicks & gear, lecture notes and decks. What do with it all? Closet? Room? Bin? This week on Magicians Talking Magic Podcast we're talking about how to organize your magic life. Read the article: https://www.magicianmasterclass.com/post/how-to-organize In this episode, we chat with a veteran of magic, with over 40 years of performing professionally as a magician. Peter Mennie (https://petermennie.ca) has been on the podcast before but today’s episode is specifically about sorting and organizing your magic show and magic accumulation-- and Peter is the best person to talk to about this very topic.

Your video equipment? Your Books? Graeme's suggestions: I use plastic ziplocks, every trick lives in one and those are stored in clear bins of different sizes. I have a couple of trunks for larger props. I keep concepts in my different show cases behind me. I have a fancy bookcase/unit - this holds mostly cards…. Books on the shelf, videos tape and dvd in some big rubbermaid storage bins Packet trick tip: Binder, trading card sleeves. *Mic drop* For close up: I use passport style wallet/organizers you find at the dollar store or surplus. Perfect for strolling set. Minimal. Showcases: The inside is made up of cardboard and duct tape haha. But much like peter I have a “ditch zone” and everything else starts in its place.

We are having a real discussion about the return of live magic shows and events, our own experiences and thoughts about the future. Plus we get an exclusive sneak peek at June 2021 VANISH Magic Magazine (https://vanishmagic.com) Will you be taking any precautions when it comes to performing in person again or is it another day at the office? It’s been one year, do you have a new show? Performance? Act? Are you going to be performing in new venues? Are you feeling jealous and anxious about performers who are already back onstage?
