We all have ideas that we are sure could make us tons of money — ideas for shows, new venues, new effects — but there is a world of difference between having an idea and making it work. The bottom line is that if you can't sell it, you won't make any money! That's why Brian developed this tape, which will teach you how to develop a workable marketing plan for any idea in the biz.
This is one of the most powerful tapes we have ever offered: How to Make Extra Money from Your Magical Ideas. Not only do you get the audio tape, you also get a full set of fill-in-the-blank forms that will help you put your ideas to work. You'll learn how to establish a plan, step-by-step, that will let you turn your ideas into cash. We show you how to net your idea out to daily activity that will make it work.
These are the same ideas we use daily in both our magical and non-magical businesses, and you can use them too. This is the easy way to benefit from what we've learned in over 20 years of being in business for ourselves.
This invaluable audio tape, complete with the planning forms, sells for just $24.98. Whether you are a performer, inventor, dealer, or agent, this tape will help you make more money from your ideas right away.

Learn the right way to routine an act
As I travel around and talk with people who are either performing or want to perform, I'm always amazed at how ill-prepared many of them are to write and routine their acts. Frankly, I think that this accounts for most of the rampant theft and plagiarism in magic, mentalism, and allied fields.
For those of you who want to learn how to do it right, here's the real scoop. This essential audio tape, How to Routine Entertaining Magic, gives you the background you need to take an effect from being an also-ran to a real winner. You get the short course in theatrical writing, audience psychology, and performance art.
You'll go step-by-step through three complete examples, including a kid routine, an adult effect, and a mental effect. You'll learn exactly how to put the theories into action. Rather than trying to make magic memorable, you'll learn how to make yourself memorable.
If you want your audience to like you and what you do, the answers are on this tape. You can have your very own copy, for just $19.95. Get a copy, and make your act a stand-out!

Make great money with easy-to-do Psi Parties
Years ago, we published an ACME release about Psi Parties. On that audio tape set, several pros gave hints and tips on how to make this popular type of party really pay off. Over the years, though, we have gotten lots of letters and calls asking for a more complete treatment of the topic.
For those of you who don't know, a Psi party is a private party, usually held in a private home, during which a mentalist performs and usually gives readings after the performance. You're much more likely to book this kind of show for adults than a straight magic show.
Enter Mark Strivings. Mark and I have been friends for years. He is a full-time working pro, and his performances at The Weerd Weekend have become legend. Among other miracles, he has brought Ted Annemann and Tony Andruzzi back to life, not easy tasks! Mark has agreed to do several tapes for us this year, and his first is How to Make Money with Psi Parties.
This two-video set, complete with examples of his booking materials, shows you a complete, actual Psi party. You'll see every minute of the party, including how he deals with the hostess on arrival, how he handles getting paid, his complete Psi party performance set, and a few readings for the guests. This is it, there ain't no more. You'll make more money per show and get more shows if you add this act to your repertoire.
Just one booking will pay for the set and leave you enough left over for a lovely dinner! The set is packaged in a library case, and is just $250.00. This isn't just tapes - it's a living!

If you're like me, and I know that I am, you have seen some simply awful performances by people who are taking money for their shows. You have seen terrible performances at club functions and conventions. For some reason, they think that they can just shlep around the stage, and impress an audience enough to establish some rapport. They are wrong.
Our dear friend, the late Bascom Jones, called me one night just before he went into the hospital, and talked about his wish list for videos that he thought we should produce. One of these was a tape for all types of magical and mental performers that would teach them how to look, act, and sound like professionals when they performed.
That's why we produced Professional Theatrics for Magicians, by actor/director Michael Blum. If used, the techniques on this tape will give you the physical and vocal presence and confidence of a pro. We guarantee it.
Michael has gotten raves about the workshops he has conducted at our annual conferences. He brings a new and professional point of view to what we do and the way we do it. He shares his techniques on this video. This essential tape is just $55.00. Order your copy today.

Here's how to make people want to book you back
This is another tape for that very small group of people who entertain for a living and want to do the best possible job. It is a combination of proven theory and specific practical techniques to get the greatest response from your act. The tape is based on the work we have been doing to take our acts beyond the "string of tricks" syndrome.
Yes, I know that the potential market for this tape is tiny, but it's one of those projects that had to be put on tape, regardless of the fiscal outcome. On this one-hour audio cassette, Advanced Techniques for Effective Entertainment, we discuss show design, plotting, scripting, body language, stage deportment, staging, neuro-linguistic programming, pacing, audience attitudes, rapport, and more. We've taken the best we could find from over 100 sources, combined it with our own experience, and given you the works.
If you're one of the few who have gone beyond the stage of just doing a string of tricks or "demonstrations", and you want to unify your act and make it truly memorable, you'll find information here that you can use. Advanced Techniques is just $17.98. Order today and put this information to work in your shows.

Make more money and sound like a pro
If you would like to get into the publishing business, or if you give readings by mail, this new video release is what you have been looking for. We're producing it in answer to a group of mentalists who have been pestering us to share our knowledge for years. Here it is - How to Make Cassettes That Sell.
We pride ourselves on the high quality of our audio tapes, and we show you how we achieve that level of quality on this new video. If you give readings by mail, or if you want to use audio tapes as marketing tools, the ideas on this tape will make money for you.
We know some readers who record their taped readings using a pocket cassette recorder. And, their recordings sound pitiful. This is not just a point of pride - the quality of your cassette determines its perceived value. On this video, you'll see what sort of affordable equipment to use (you probably have most of it already), how to choose and use mics, how to make your voice sound bigger and better, how to use production music, and how to duplicate tapes for quality and profit.
You'll learn how to choose tapes (there are differences!), how to package your tapes, and the best ways to find new markets for recorded information. Nothing is held back. The convenience and price point of cassettes will keep them in demand as long as there are ideas to be recorded and sold. If you want to find out the right way to do it, order How to Make Cassettes That Sell today for just $55.00
