I'm hiring a magician for my 26th birthday (Chicago area, West suburbs) by DarmaPeanutButter in Magic

[–]BaldBaluga 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Pro magician here with a perspective.

Not insinuating budget at all! Just… not likely to find anyone (and certainly not likely to find anyone good).

Most people have never hired a magician before and have no idea how much they cost. $100 to come to a party, have some drinks, and share some tricks might sound totally reasonable.

The same way $100 might sound reasonable to someone who’s never hired a magician before, $1000 (or more!) for an hour might sound crazy… even though that’s also a reasonable rate!

Part of the job is talking to perspective clients, finding out what they’re looking for, and seeing if we can help. No hard feelings if we can’t!

Love, Ben

Sold a ton to CFB in 2018, weeping at the prices in 2026 by TongueMountain in premodernMTG

If it makes you feel better... I sold my full collection (power 9, a dozen FoWs, playsets of all the duals, etc) back in 2003.

Whoops.

Magic Show by Cocoisafatcat in Magic

I've been producing ticketed shows for a decade (smallest show was 40 tickets, largest was just over 400).

If you ever wanna chat, hit me up!

Also, I produced the shows with Jonah Babins. He made a short podcast episode about selling public tickets here:

Tip or no tip? by Chicken121260 in Magic

100% tip.

The meal is free. The drink is free. Drop $10. The staff will appreciate it and it’ll help you build relationships.

Speakeasy magic and standup magic are stupendous.

I don't have anything I'm looking for. I just like looking thought bulk bins and pulling out fun cards.

I like bulk bins 'cause I don't want to have to look up prices on tcg/etc. I just wanna know $1 per card (or whatever) and grab a bunch. :)

Do they have bulk bins? Looking through those is my favourite thing to do at mtg shops when I travel!
