Magic and the Newtown tragedy
I had a gig the night of the Newtown, CT shooting.
I questioned whether or not I should even step foot on stage. It all seemed so meaningless.
I have two kids. One in pre-K, the other in Kindergarten. My wife is a 1st grade teacher.
The tragedy REALLY hit home and it was hard to get on stage and be funny.
However, I did – and the crowd went crazy that night.
If there’s one thing this world needs, it’s more laughter.
The average child laughs over 400 times per day. The average adult laughs only 15.
The world lost a lot of laughs that morning in Newtown.
Now more than ever, this world needs you to be out there spreading wonder and laughter.
David Oliver – A great magician who needs our help
If you’ve been in magic for any length of time, then you’ve probably come across the name David Oliver.
His Dove act was a staple in his routine for over 25 years, until they gave him a deadly disease.

This is a great guy who could really use our help right now. Don’t let the birds beat the magician.

The Egg…
Insanity.
After that webinar yesterday…that’s pretty much my life right now.
How insane?
It’s like this: an hour ago my wife called and said we need eggs.
Unfortunately, I was seconds away from home and minutes away from a phone appointment.
No time.
However, it’s chicken parm night and no eggs = no yummy.
Unacceptable.
We racked our brains. We screamed and yelled. We blamed each other. (That’s what happens when you’re insane…you fight over an egg.) Our entire evening, no, our entire lives hinged on one stupid egg.
I would have laid it myself if I could.
I almost did.
Then I remembered the lesson of last night’s webinar…
“Leverage”!
What do I have RIGHT NOW that I can leverage into an egg? (Well…I have a silk in my case…hmmm…maybe add a little woofle dust?)
Then it hit me…
FRIENDS!
I have neighbors and they probably have eggs!
I ran next door, borrowed an egg, and ran home.
Problem solved. Soon I’ll be eating until I can’t walk.
Then you’ll need to use leverage just to get me off the couch.
Go spread some wonder,
- Tim David
P.S. The replay from last night’s webinar will only be available for three days.
If you want to learn how to leverage the talent and ability that you already have as a magician and turn it into big paydays, then RUN (don’t walk) over to:

2012 Magician Income Survey

Download the Report for Free
This is an interesting little piece done up nicely by Andrew Makar.
The results are fascinating, however there is one major flaw with the procedure. If one magician asks another magician what he charges, he’s probably going to give you a much higher number than if a client asked the same question.
Also, the survey was conducted with open fields instead of multiple choice. This allows for some possible typos. There are two results in particular that make me question whether an extra zero was added, or whether one was left off by mistake.
For these reasons, I’m looking at this survey with some real interest, but I’m not putting a whole lot of stock in the very high fees or the very low fees.
Take a look and see where you stack up!
