I'm sure some of this is great stuff but ....
I can tell you how to get great reviews here in one sentence .... Have a good show/product, provide great service and make sure the audience likes you. Proof .... http://www.gigmasters.com/Magician/Illusions-By-Vick/ 83 reviews, all written "cold" by the client from an email sent from Gigmaster after the performance, some were written weeks after the show. Not all 83 reviews are glowing but the overwhelming majority are, some from large corporations, some from birthday parties both children and adult, some from fund raisers and banquets. The product and the service always come first. My take on performing for free ... never do it. Unless it's someone you reach out to, want to do and believe in. Free shows only get you more free shows. If an organization has to solicit for a "free" show there are usually poorly run. I am fortunate to work/perform for a fair amount of fund raisers and if they are run properly they can and know they have to pay talent. Also you might be cutting you own or someone else's throat if you work for free. If we all said no to free show solicitations we would lose nothing but would gain paying jobs when some organisations realize they have to pay talent. ... and I give back where and when I choose to

I mentioned this on Facebook but I think it's important so I'll repeat here (re Ego Check):
"I would actually take this a step further. Just like many feel tempted to tip servers who may be just OK - out of convention/cultural expectation, I believe that people also feel the need to say "you are great!" to magicians even if you were not that great. We can't take after show compliments too literally as we risk an over-inflated ego. Just my perception anyway. I have a feeling that a lot of my early work reviews were more polite than honest." |

Leif: Great stuff my friend and a great share. As you know, I write a weekly column and have for over 5-6 years now. I have the rights to over 310+ articles written to date. What I am getting at is perhaps I can share some on your blog and get even more content out to folks who could benefit from it.
I do not ask a single thing for this. Nothing at all. Not one cent. Just my way of helping others who want or seek the help. If you would like to add some more content to the blog, let me know and I would be happy to send over some articles for posting that folks might really enjoy and learn from. My total pleasure. Keep up the good work. Kyle
