I just did a Google search for the best magician in Boston. Have no fear, I stopped counting after 50. There is no shortage of the “Best”. How can you go wrong?
Easily, you may hire the WRONG “Best Magician”.
You should have done a further search… Best Magicians that Suck? Just kidding!
Sadly, this is a business. It’s like picking out a Salad Dressing… Salad dressing is relatively cheap, so you can try a few and decide for yourself. Magicians? Well, we’re not that cheap and you are only having one 50th Wedding Anniversary.
The universal desire for the best
I was talking with a potential client, and I told her, “Truly, I am one of the best close-up magicians in this area.” Well, she hired me, and she was kind enough to write a review… here’s an excerpt. “Joe was one of the Best Magicians…” I’m not sure why she used the past tense.
Additionally, believe it or not, I am humble and don’t like to brag. Moreover, I’d rather have my work speak for itself. However, I face competition with essentially the same claims. Consequently, if I were to declare myself the second best, it wouldn’t yield favorable results. Consequently, it is now up to you to make the best-informed decision. Furthermore, I recently came across an advertisement proclaiming to represent the Top 45 Magicians in Boston. I won’t disclose its source, as I prefer to keep you engaged on my website.
Actually, I’m in the ballpark with everyone else, but here is a little truth for you. Whoever you hire, when you say good night and walk out the door, they better think you were the Best Magician they ever saw. That’s the part each of us must fulfill. It’s probably not true, but the perception needs to be there.
Now here is the caveat for all of us Magicians. This advice comes from many of the “Real Best Magicians around the globe.”
Appreciate the compliments, the applause, the laughter, the occasional scream, but the moment you believe, you are the best. You’ve let your ego get the “Best” of you. There are so many entertainers out there. Of course, some are better in many aspects, some in all aspects. Keep yourself grounded. The moment you develop an “attitude” you’re done. Let’s face it; we’re not performing brain surgery. (Just doing a few tricks.)
