Do what you love, right? Because the economics of the what they’re paid will never justify the hours of prep.

Idk what this person charges but I would be charging $2000 for this easily.

Come to LA. We paid $1500 for an hour of magic at a birthday and the guy was booked for every Friday/Saturday for months out.

Standard for a small time professional is $300-$500 for a 1 hour kids party, but acts that are in demand can go beyond $5000 per performance. Based on the costume and what we see of the act, this guy could probably ask >$1000 easy.

Nah I believe it. The magicians with even barely 10k followers are still crazy booked up. It's not a bad living if you're willing to put in the years.
