Why high schools

Better pay. Better audiences.

$800–$2,000

Per show, in my experience

From a local gig to one a few hours away. One high school show can pay what four or five birthdays do.

Less competition

Teens can be a tough crowd, so most magicians stay away. That leaves the field open for performers with the right show.

An audience that wants to be there

They’re happy to be out of class, so they arrive ready to watch a great show.

The tricky part

Edgy enough for teens. Clean enough for the adults.

Teens want to be treated like adults. Blooming flowers and “the magician doesn’t see it” gags will get you nowhere fast. But you can’t go too edgy either, because the teachers are watching.

And most of the year, high schools don’t book “fun shows.” You need an educational or motivational message. This course shows you how to build exactly that.

Questions

Do I need to be a mentalist?

No. Many classic mentalism routines don’t land with teens anyway. The manual covers which kinds of effects work for this age group.

Will I get support?

Yes. Unlimited email support. Ask as many questions as you like.
