2) You should perform certain stunts that produce big publicly and thus increase revenues for the clients hiring your.

3) Many booking agencies book performers on a minimum industry standard rate. This rate may be 10%, or 15% of the performance fee. Offer him, say 5% to 10% more and be put on his ‘good’ list.

5) Some booking agents have virtually 100's of acts on their lists, and many times loose sight over the years of what the acts are currently doing. Get to know all the agents and celebrity figure heads and you may find that you can get booking only on recommendations.

6) Offer a complete package of Magicians, Clowns, Singers and other acts that are incorporated into a single show, that you can sell.

7) Many booking agents get a kick back for good performance. There is no reason why you cannot make an offer to an agent such as "If you get me 25 shows this month, I will give you a $300 cash Bonus".

8) Offer the agent a free 10 minuet 'after the show' session, to sign autographs, do free handwriting analysis, or make balloon animals. The agent can then pitch this ‘extra’ to the client for a small additional charge, or even free during your slow times.

9) Cater your show to the buyers of Big Entertainment. Companies such as Coke-A-Cola, Pepsi, Nike, Sony, Beer Manufactures, and the like. These organizations spend millions every year on entertainment. Sell them an act that’s exactly what they are looking for.

10) Join several large, specialized Organizations. Organizations like the Lions Club, Rotary Club, Shriners Club, and Fraternal associations, would much rather hire a fellow ‘Brother’ than an outsider.

11) Booking your self into a show! You can rent concession space at numerous Exhibitions and Fairs. Concession space will run you between $25 (for small local weekend event) to $950 (for large Multi-week State Fairs). You will see many pitches selling product there. Anything from slicers to choppers to the latest inventions. I worked these shows exclusively for bout 12 years. They are extremely profitable!

12) Be your own booking agency and book smaller acts into a bigger show (or even book yourself).

13) Sell back end products after the show, books, tapes, magic, psychic readings, hypnosis tapes, just about anything.

14) Hand out business cards and information always, for Mentalists, do ‘blow them away teasers’.

15) Work amusement parks as an independent performer/contractor, not as a salaried employee.

16) Work with the press and cause a sensation.

Remember, the entertainment industry is a MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR INDUSTRY!!! Aside from Governments, Entertainment is the largest cash grab in the world!!! YOU CAN GET YOUR SHARE! Go For It - Now!

There are only two things you can say to yourself...
I’m glad I did it, or I wish I had!

Good luck with your new knowledge!
