How To Become A Strolling Magician Orlando

By Betty Wood


When it comes to magic shows, it's not all about festivals, street artists or Las Vegas. For, these individuals can perform as a strolling magician Orlando, provide magic shows for children or perform in world renown shows in Las Vegas and around the world. Magic has become more popular over the last few years after Matt Franco was the first magician to win the popular reality show America's God Talent.

Children of all ages have been astounded my magic at birthday parties, festivals and other events. Whereas, in the 70s to 90s, it seemed street artists and magicians could be found in entertainment districts such as 6th Street in Austin, The French Quarter in New Orleans and at the daily Sunset festival in Key West performing for tourists.

While Austin has recently allowed busking without permits, there were a number of performers and vendors in the 1990s whom received tickets for performing or vending without a license. In that case, the individuals included fire dancers, food vendors, flower girls, jewelry makers, jugglers, musicians, painters, rose sellers and muralists. While the fines were between $50 and $200, most of these individuals rarely made enough to cover the cost of housing, if not homeless.

While a number of vibrant entertainment districts still exist, Orlando offers a number of different areas in which individuals can set up performances or vending booths. As such, it is a favorite among local and traveling buskers alike. It should be noted that out of town performers and vendors must also acquire a permit to avoid ticketing in the Orlando area.

While there are some magicians whom are willing to do whatever it take to entertain residents and tourists in these areas, it should be noted that fines in Florida can often be more than in other areas. In addition, it is important to note that performing or vending on properties such as Disney, Universal and MGM is often illegal.

While it can be fun to perform in person, magicians may also want to consider hiring a videographer to create a video of a performance. For, there are a number of people whom love magic that can not for one reason or another make it to a public performance. In addition, if the magic is original, unique and entertaining, there is a good chance it could go viral, thus creating some passive income for the performer.

Individuals desiring to learn magic may want to check out Jeff McBride, founder of the Magic and Mystery school whom offers free and paid classes on the McBride Magic dot com website. In some cases, Jeff provides lessons on various magic tricks and illusions, while other video courses offer information on connecting with audiences and how to book gigs.

In all cases, magic is at the center of the studies offered by this amazing magician, associated mentors and fellow magicians. In fact, Jeff McBride founded the only magic and mystery school in the United States. After which, the performer has gone on to win numerous World Magician of the Year and other awards.
