I am curious as to what most of the Café members (regardless if your a magician, mentalist, presenter, speaker, clown, juggler, etc.) would consider themselves if they had to classify their business and their performance market, either Local (within 60 miles), Regional (larger area than local, may cover a multi-state area/region), or Nationwide (in U.S.)?

I am a full timer who has slowly expanded from local to regional, and am now working on spreading farther "afield".

I'm pretty much local. About twice a year I have a show that's around a 100 miles away, but that's about as far as I go.

Local to a large degree but starting to expand with new marketing efforts currently under way.

I guess I am doing it backwards... I have always been International, cut-back to National and now trying to work more regionally and ultimately LOCALLY! (I LOVE sleeping in my own Bed at night…)
Sure the lions-share of my Casino work is locally and Regionally (Nevada Casinos) but I would still rather do most, (Like 98%) of my work at home. I am at your service and in HIS Service, Deano (would much rather stay more) in Reno <><

Since 1000 and 2000 mile weeks do occur, I am certainly not just local. However, I do try to avoid flying due to the lack of dependability of air travel in the USA. You must be present to win!
I think I have covered 22 states in the USA in the last twelve months. Bob Sanders Magic By Sander PS --- Should I count Europe too? After Colin, Michigan in August I go to France. Europe will likely get much of 2010 too. |

I am regional by choice. My wife and I enjoy sleeping in our own bed every night. So we have chosen to stay regional to allow us to do so. With our business model, it works great for us as there is plenty of work out there.

Can't seem to get half locally of what I get by going 1000 miles away (and they pay my expenses) so unfortunately I am national.

Where ever the money is. Have show(s). Will travel.
The majority of our work is within a 600 mile/1000km radius, but national and international work is also accepted. |
