If you want hard tasks in life you may want to pursue a career in magic. It will be a very difficult road ahead, but the rewards may be grand. To have fame (not necessarily fortune) just follow the following tips.
1. It may sound very corny, work hard in your studies and if your grades are good enough you might get a scholarship and even earn the very hard to get degree. Magic is a great hobby to have, however it is not an ideal career choice because the employment rates for a magician doesn�t come around very often. Honestly you have as good of a chance to become a rich and famous magician than getting hit by lightning or win a singing contest when you know you don�t have the voice. We just want you to be aware that it isn�t always a rosy career and that it�s extremely difficult to succeed and make it a living so just in case it doesn�t work, you should consider a second career. As a historical fact did you know that many magicians have died without having any money?
2. If you get the chance when you attend high school and college, take a drama class. If you learn to act, know how magic sets are built and know how to produce this will help you building your new career. Another class than can get you improved is speech classes. This last class will help your presentations.
Of course you will gain an advantage if you know all the secrets in the book of magic but all and all you will have an even better advantage if you know the secret to great presentations.
3. Try to invent yourself a character. You should have a costume to build your character. This will get you help become your character. Why? Well why does a clown wear make up and a nose? Why does a doctor wear a white cloak? Because that is what they are and this is what they do. It is their job and it helps them get in the action and remind them of their job. Secondly, you should think of either having a stage name or not. It�s your choice, a stage name or your real name. The personality trait you have will also determine the kind of character you will be on stage. As time goes on you�ll learn to like your character as he will become part of you.
4. The act. This is the crucial part. Begin by selecting the tricks you know. Find out what kind of magic tricks they are. Next step is to put the pen to paper and make an order in which you want to do them. It�s advisable to do the tricks that have no wow reaction at the beginning and as the show goes on, impress them with bigger tricks.
You should try and get your crowd�s attention by doing the flashy stuff first. This will get your audience in the right mood.

Blogger,
I had this same question. Then I realized that eventually I will make money from my blog, if I keep pursuing it.
I love to write so I would do itregardless. It has taken me all my life to reach the point where I can write and eventually get paid for it.
What I need is an audience and that takes commitment and patience. I haven't made a dime off my blogs yet and I think they are very well designed. at least the few visits that I've received indicate so.
But I have a plan. In addition to visiting other's blogs, linking back to my blog and word of mouth. I am printing up a thousand business like cards.
This is what each card will look like. Two different blogs that I have on Google. Razing...." was set up in March, "Cally's...was just set up in June.
I have a business and I put out thousands of flyers to residential customers. When I leave a flyer on a mailbox post or stuck behind a mailbox, I'll also leave a business like card w/ it on some mailboxes.
I'll do this over and over again. You can do this to with just a
business card asking people to take a look at your blog. Put 'em out.
I'n going to do this and give it time.
One thing I've learned from owning a business is patience. It will come. Dont' worry about it. Write like the money is there and it will come.
I've been blessed in my life and everything that I've asked for comes about eventually.
PS_ Get the book"The Secret", it's real, and it works, just believe, work toward your goal and like me, you will achieve your goals. You will make money, just don't get into negatives, that stops the process of 'receiving'.

Course, Common Sense)
Help me take this blog national!
Please visit
(One click does it)
Now, I can put this on a business card, put it on windshields, mailboxes, etc. This is a general audience blog.
This blog on the other hand is a "niche" blog. I belong to a forum in which I have dozens of private e-mails, with relevant subject matter. I can ask these people to just go to my blog.
For the general public, I leave blog cards everywhere,
For segmented or niche markets like mine( adult content market-not porn...!) I pick up a 1000 business like Blog cards and give them or leave them at select locations where only adults congregate, Nightclubs, bars, lounges, niche organizations etc
here's the blog card for this one.

This is my approach. There are many. have faith, analyze what you want in the long term and work toward it and it will come.
Good luck blogger!
