VIRTUAL MENTALIST
HOLIDAY PARTY MAGIC Harry Houdini began as a good card magician. Indeed, when he was younger, he had billed himself as the “King of Kards.” and prominently displayed that moniker on his website. No, he didn’t have a website. But he had that moniker on his business cards. Eventually, he had the business sense to brand himself as the escape artist. His name a hundred years later because he was a disciplined promoter — a promotion genius. Many had performed a straight jacket escape. Houdini was the first to do it hanging upside-down hundreds of feet in the air. This made escaping from the straight jacket easier, but it made for a killer promo photo. The above entertainers weren’texperts at their craft. They had discipline in promotion, branding, marketing, and more. In some cases, theyhappened to mix with influential people; but even then, the magician can’t coast on that for long. Expert magicians work hard notbecause they are aware they are highly paid for their efforts, but to leave a legacy when they’re no longer active in the business. Through discipline comes freedom.

does not choose his tricks willy-nilly. He has criteria. Each magician has his own set of criteria, which May comprise 5 to 10 rules. A restaurant magician May have the following criteria for selecting his material:
ZOOM MAGICIANVisual (because the restaurant May be noisy)
VIRTUAL MENTALIST
HOLIDAY PARTY MAGICModular (UK magicians call this “segmented”—multiple climaxes…because frequently the restaurant performer will be interrupted by the server bringing food and drinks, so he needs to be able to end the act on a whim)
VIRTUAL TEAM BUILDING
Instant Reset (because the performer can’t afford to spend 20 seconds resetting the trick between each “audience”)
REVIEWSPacks small (because he’ll be strolling table-to-table, it’s not practical to carry a suitcase full of props)
