Close-up magic is suitable for performing on the ground, that is, performing on the street. Nowadays, in addition to TV stations recording programs, the only opportunities are temple fairs and the like.
If you want to be a magician, you don’t want to stay at home. You have to go out and make money.
1. Go to the bar, teahouse, club, KTV and ask if you need a magic show.
2. Become an assistant to other magicians. You can not only continue to learn and improve, but also increase your connections.
3. Find an ordinary job and use magic to increase your personal charm and assist your career.
Supplement:
Close-up magic alone is not enough, it requires excellent eloquence and adaptability. You can watch Guo Degang's interview with Liu Qian. Liu Qian's eloquence, reactions, and laughs are not inferior to Guo Degang's.
And no magician can only do close-up magic. Those who can only do close-up magic are called street performers. You need to learn everything. You can only choose close-up shots to perform, or you can be best at close-up shots, but you also need to learn everything else. Including making large-scale stage props by yourself, you must be able to do it. There are many things that are inconvenient for magicians to do to others. It's really hard to be a successful magician.
Answer to "Is astrology easy to learn?"
If you really want to do magic well, the salary will not be very high, and there will be some fixed expenses every month, such as buying Playing cards, buying teaching, maintenance of props (buying pigeon food, loss props, performance travel expenses), attending about 3-5 magic lectures every year, the average cost of each lecture is 800-1000, generally attending 1-2 magic lectures a year The average cost of each conference is around 2,500. If you attend a foreign conference, the cost will be tens of thousands.
Counting 15-20 performances a month (which is already a lot), the cost of each performance is between 600-1,000, and the maximum income a month can be 20,000, but because of the off-season, one can do medium-to-medium The annual net income of a magician is about 200,000 yuan. After deducting the 5 insurances and 1 gold payment, daily food, accommodation, entertainment, maintaining customer relationships, and his own magic expenses, in fact, in the end, he is about the same as an office worker.
The advantage is that it is relatively free. If you don’t want to take the job, you can’t take it. You just don’t have the money to take it. Then the more you work, the more you earn, the more you work, the more you get.
Unless one day you become as famous as Liu Qian, it will be difficult to earn a high salary. I feel that writing code seems to be more stable than a magician, with a higher income, better prospects, and a larger pension.
During the enrollment period these days, some friends asked me: "Is astrology easy to learn?" How should I answer this question, because it cannot be answered simply by "easy to learn" or "not easy to learn". ah.
In my personal experience, astrology cannot be learned by rote memorization. If you memorize every knowledge point like a fixed formula, it must be massive. , and judging from the limitations of the human brain, it can rememberVery limited. In fact, in addition to a small amount of symbolic meanings and ordering that must be memorized, it is more about the understanding of energy archetypes, the summary of key words, the establishment of chart interpretation logic, the experience of one's own chart energy, and how others use the driving force. Demonstrated experience, and most importantly: your in-depth understanding of people. Therefore, if you don’t like to memorize things by rote, then astrology should be considered as easy to learn.
So here comes the point, how do we assist understanding and memory? Nowadays, it seems that more and more people are learning to use "mind maps" to help memory. The brain's lone struggle is not as effective as the alliance of friendly forces. The role of "mind maps" is to give full play to the functions of the left and right brains. Remember Faster and longer. Learning astrology is similar, but it doesn’t matter even if we don’t know how to draw a professional “mind map”, because we can also combine pictures, movements, feelings, images, experiences and other factors, and slowly use penetrating experience and understanding to assist Memorize and help yourself organize the language so that you can express the energy of the astrolabe. With continuous practice, you will become more and more proficient. Even if we don’t plan to be a professional astrologer in the future, but just an astrology enthusiast, I guess being able to express accurately and clearly is what everyone wants to achieve, right?
Some friends may also want to ask: "Can astrology be completely self-taught?" I do not rule out the possibility, but based on my personal experience Judging from years of learning experience: it’s difficult. A professional teacher with clear thinking, smooth expression and no secret is really important. He/she will help you distinguish different energy prototypes more accurately, teach you how to understand and remember, and establish correct interpretation logic. After dismantling the study, comprehensively express it, broaden the perspective of interpretation, comprehensively use techniques and feelings, increase your understanding of the visitor, and tell you where the foundation needs to be consolidated when you are stagnant...these are very important contents. Most astrology books do not present it clearly, but describe it in a broad, profound and huge amount of information. Even if the information is accurate, it is difficult for us to grasp the key points and form a clear understanding. , so many self-taught people will find that they can understand symbols, phases and some professional terms, but they cannot independently interpret and express themselves; or even if they dare to speak, different energy prototypes will be confused into a pot of paste, affecting accuracy. Astrology interpretation itself is very interesting. If there is only rational logic without feelings, it will be very narrow and rigid and even biased. However, if there is no logic and only feelings, it is basically guessing and nonsense. Therefore, those scattered knowledge points are like pearls, and a good teacher is like the thread that strings the pearls together, making your learning more efficient and progress faster.
The above is about "how to learn astrology", now let's talk about "can you learn astrology well". I think it is probably not easy to learn any skill well. It requires great enthusiasm and patience, plus a little bit of understanding.sex. Studying astrology is like building a house, there is a construction process, and there are different tasks to be done at different stages, such as laying the foundation, adding floors, decorating... There are similar contents but they are also different. In this process, you may be impatient, question, and want to give up, but in the end only those who can endure loneliness, endure hardship, find fun and persevere can truly achieve something. Therefore, no matter what you learn, if If you want to learn well, that is a practice in itself.
I am amusing myself as I write this. I was originally recruiting students, but the above paragraph may scare some friends, because we probably all long for relaxation. I don't like hard work, although hard work will make it easy. Then let us sort out our expectations again. Life itself also finds the direction to achieve oneself through constant experience. If you don’t start, you will never embark on a path that suits you. This course is just a basic course on astrology. Maybe we can relax a little. Everyone is welcome to experience and try it out to see if astrology is something you are interested in and whether it is a suitable direction for your development. Only through experience will you know. If you want to continue to improve, you can lay a foundation first. If you want to have a taste, you can have more understanding and acceptance of yourself and others because of the added perspective of astrology, which can help you bring in some fresh elements to see yourself and others. Our various relationships resolve confusion, clarify positioning, and satisfy desires. There is another point that I think is unique and I can’t help but emphasize it again. As a working psychological counselor, due to my personal considerations, this course design is not only to explain astrology knowledge, but I will also explain it in the course. During this period, we will accompany you to experience inner growth and experience a deeper process of self-exploration. Are you ready?
Blessings and welcome to everyone!
