Harrison Greenbaum - How to Unleash Your Magic Superpowers

Harrison Greenbaum - How to Unleash Your Magic Superpowers

Author: The Magic Oracle Club February 6, 2021 Duration: 25:46
As a comedian and magician, Harrison Greenbaum recommends only performing your own material (yes, it'll hurt!), developing tricks the right direction, the higher plains of audience reactions, being an original, developing your point of view, and oh yeah, DON'T do other magician's material!

Behind every great illusion is a real person who had to figure out how to make a living from it. The Magic Business Podcast, from The Magic Oracle Club, goes backstage to explore the unglamorous but essential realities of building a sustainable life in magic. This isn't about secret tricks; it's about the practical strategies, personal struggles, and hard-won victories that define a performing career. Each conversation pulls back the curtain on the business side, from booking gigs and setting rates to marketing yourself and navigating creative burnout. We sit down with working entertainers and established legends who have carved out their own unique paths. You'll hear candid stories about early failures, breakthrough moments, and the day-to-day hustle that never makes it into the spotlight. The focus is on actionable advice and genuine insight, delivered in straightforward conversations that cut through the fantasy to talk about real work. Whether you're a seasoned pro looking for a fresh perspective or someone dreaming of turning passion into profession, this podcast offers a rare, honest look at the craft of building a magical career. Tune in for concise, insightful, and often delightful wisdom from the world's most accomplished and creative minds in the art of performance.
