It sounds like you're getting all the work you can handle, but your routines have a depth that contrasts with the standard loud and funny acts that appear at new student welcomes, prospective student visits, mid-semester campus activities, and so on. Do you alter your program at all for college audiences? Curt Curt Frye curt@curtisfrye.com http://www.techsoc.com/puzzlesets.htm Rick Maue V.I.P. Pittsburgh, PA 524 Posts Posted: Apr 26, 2008 7:06pm       Hello again Curt, I am really lucky because I am never booked at a college (or anywhere else) to be an entertainer. That isn't what I do, so I am never competing with any other type of act or performer. To be honest, I have never been booked through an agent, and I have never approached a college or a university to book me. Instead, they contact me, and they solicit my specific services. All of this is possible because I have specifically designed my business plan this way over the years. As I said in another post, I have not taken a booking for a mentalist or a magician for quite a few years. I only take bookings for Rick Maue. And like I said in that other post, that is not ego, it is simple branding. I have spent a number of years establishing my brand, and by sticking to my business plan, I have been able to carve out a very nice niche for myself. So, to answer your question directly, I don't have to alter my show for a college audience because they solicit me to specifically do my exact show. There is actually a lot more to it than what I have written here, but I do cover quite a bit of my business philosophy in Occam's Magic.
