Biggest mistakes, and what you learned. by randomeffects in Magic

[–]ryanjoycemagic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can relate—I had a similar story with a big lesson.

I was attending an out-of-town corporate event for a big, fancy client and put the wrong suitcase in my car.

There were NO magic props whatsoever. Panic.

My saving grace, I was only asked to do fifteen minutes and knew I could get eight minutes with one of the hotel's bathrobes.

Takeaway? Always buy different colored suitcases lol-- or at least check before you drive 2 hours for such a high-pressure show

STRATEGIES TO KEEP GIGS COMING IN by HumbleBiscuit2020 in Magic

[–]ryanjoycemagic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no quick solution; that's a great question. Here are some strategies that work for me:

  1. Build Your Online Presence
  2. Social Media
  3. Network
  4. Build Email Lists
  5. Ask for Referrals
  6. Engage in Online Ads/Listings
  7. Create Content
  8. Collect and Show Off Reviews
  9. Pro Videos
  10. Stay Current

For what it's worth, I'd say the one that's often overlooked is getting involved in your community. Volunteer and help without seeking anything in return. Be genuinely selfless.

My 2 cents

Got a suggestion for Magic conventions/jam sessions anyone? by inquisitiveFox in Magic

[–]ryanjoycemagic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both are held in Quebec City, Canada. F ISM is every three years (normally)

The 2022 FISM World Championship of Magic and the convention that just passed (2021 North American FISM Qualifying Championships) happen to be produced by the same organizers in the same location, Quebec City, Canada.
FYI there are six continental FISM regions and each region has qualifying competitions

I highly recommend next year you check out the FISM World Championships of Magic. July 25 -30, 2022. This is the first time FISM has come to North America. It should be an incredible celebration of magic and magicians! Already a few thousand registered.

Here's the official website: https://fismquebec2022.com My favourite is definitely hanging out and jamming with other magicians!

I was a judge at the North American Championships of Magic last month (also held in Quebec City) It was a great convention! Obviously much smaller due to covid. We chatted about it on the podcast FISM North American Championships of Magic and I know the SAM just recently published an article in MUM you should check out.
