I work for Verizon Wireless. Believe it or not, I never got into magic to make money. I started so that I can entertain people. I was always amazed by watching a magician perform since I was a litttle kid, and remember the expressions on my face after the final effect.
I have a big family with lots of nieces and nephews as well as 4 of my own. So it keeps them from breaking my things when they come over.
You are right on one thing, there are plenty of opportunities in these neck of the woods. Every now and then I'll have someone ask me to go to a party they're throwing or if I can make it to a seminar or something like that. Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't. I picked this up basically for my own satisfaction of being able to say "I actually perfomed magic" when I'm old and gray.
My 15yr old daughter on the other hand makes a killing at her friends birthday parties.
She's the 1st one to say "I'll do magic at your party if your parents want" then she always throws in "for a small price". You gotta love her.
My goal is to have my kids learn what I know and leave it up to them as to what they want to do with that knowledge.
Magic is a wonderful thing. I don't know what I would have done without it.
