Yea each one of those "renowned builders" are trying to sell you something! Of course they want to encourage you. If you want someone to tell you exactly what you want to hear, go to a magic builder with cash. That is the best way certainly.
Again I say I have tilted at this windmill too long already. My donkey and I are moving along. HIGH HO DONKEY.............AWAYYYYYYYYYYY

Just go out and ask. I got a lot of good bookings this way. Call them and offer your service. That's it.

Yea I mean if you want someone to blow smoke up your but, go buy a car, a timeshare, a house or join a gym. It is cheaper than a magic builder!
I mean there are just thing you don't do. Don't take advice like this from a guy who has a stake in your buying his stuff. Also, don't play cards with a guy not using his own money! (another story sorry)

Same exact thing happened on a parallel “How to get Corporate Gigs” thread recently…
There are some guys giving unrealistic feedback on the Café of course. And their are some guys trying to help in a constructive way. But that’s pretty much the same everywhere (unless you're paying them to say nice things.) Many magic clubs watch you massacre some routine then slap you on the back and say "great job" either out of ignorance or misplaced support. Is that what is expected here now, only half baked options and not true guidance? What boggles the mind are the number of guys (some younger than others) who sincerely ask for advice and assistance, then fight back tooth and nail when someone responds. Is it a question they're asking or merely for validation? If the latter whey not skip the "?" marks altogether? Two-Cents, Walt |

Half the time I think people ask just for ego gratification.
I mean if you don't like the answer, fine, but that does not mean the advice is wrong.

Danny you forgot to mention not to forget to go to a hotel with someone who can record you, walk into an event and start performing for people after the event they came to is over and when the people get up and they're starting to walk away you can get your footage and make it look like you were hired for the event by performing for people in hotels.

The footage helps tremendously at the arraignment.

Not only at the arraignment, but helps in the prosecution for trespassing, and is very important in the lawsuit for using images for commercial use without permission.
And the publicity you may get in the news is golden |
