2) If you are selective, and pick the charitable events where you know there will be celebrities, then you, in your Magician get-up, will be sure and pose beside, and get photographs beside these famous celebrities.
Can you imagine showing a potential client thinking of booking your show, a photograph of YOU beside Brittany Spears? or beside Jerry Lewis? This instantly puts you into first class celebrity status! You will stand out much more that the Magician that doesnt have these kinds of publicly photos.
3) You will be in a room with thousands of people - each of which, may at some time, need a Magician. Would a client rather book an unknown Magician from a phone book? or would they rather pick a great Magician that the have already seen previously? For sure, they would choose you over someone that they have not ever met.
4) You are guaranteed to get letters of recommendation! Just ask, and your promo and media kits will eventually be full of recommendations and testimonial letters from huge organizations like "the Cripple Children Society, Hospital for Sick Children, and the Cancer Society". Large corporations and television love to hire people who participate in these types of events. It looks good on their company image also.
