how to get your name out there

For any magician one thing that you want to do is get your name out there as a magician. Now there are several ways to do this but this blog is going to talk about the cheapest ways. 1. The easiest way is word of mouth. All you have to do is tell people that you know that you are a magician. Most people you know talk to people you dont know and i think you see how this one works. 2. Another really simple way is Facebook. Create a free page on Facebook for your business or just a page for you as a magician and then invite your friends to like your page. Use this page to keep everyone up to date on what is new with you and your magic. 3. Create a website. Now i know that your thinking how is that cheap? It is actually very simple! Just go to either webs.com or weebly.com and create a website for free!!! 4. Once you get a show booked bring a camera and (if you can) bring a video camera. Now what i like to do is find family or friends to take the pictures and videos. If you are a younger magician then this is where you take advantage of the people you live with. If they are your mom or dad or guardian or even your grandparent it will be very simple to convince them to come to your show and take pictures. Now if your wondering how does this get my name out? It is very easy. At the end of the show tell people that the pictures of either their kid or any form of a volunteer from the audience will be on your website or facebook page. Once they visit then the word of mouth comes in when people ask where did you get that picture? or who is the magician in that photo? I hope this helps you get more jobs and gigs. All of these methods have worked for me extremely well. Also try finding local newspapers where you can place a free ad in. Not all towns have them but in my town that has gotten me a few jobs. You can list yourself on craigslist but be careful and make sure that the gig you got from there is real! If you are a young magician then be very cautious and make sure that your parents are either with you or know where you are going to be and what time you are going to be there. Thank you and i hope you enjoyed this post!
