Only recently I learned that this book has fallen under some disdain to the actions of one its
authors. I'll nothing more to that as it speaks for itself, HOWEVER, this book is still full of very
useful information on scouting, inquiring, obtaining, and working gigs that support restaurant
magicians. Despite whatever dubious association, it is still worth reading if you wish to gain
helpful and direct incite toward garnering more strolling magic gigs.

If you have ever thought about working as a restaurant magician, but were unsure about how to get
started, then this is the book for you. Jim Pace is a wealth of information on the subject. From
contacting restaurants to what to perform, all of the important questions are answered. truly
invaluable.

Very concise and much more like a "handbook" than a "how to". Information is strong and easy to
read. Published in 1994 but still very applicable today. Jim Pace is a great magician, in spite of
his legal issues, so dont boycott this material. Remember: John 8:7

There are so few books or material written out there pertaining to the Restaurant industry and
entertainers. This one I find to be well worth the investment. Very little fluff and a lot of good,
but dated material having been written in 1997. But adjusting the monetary figures for current
inflation, it is still very valid info. If you are a magician, or even a mentalist for all that
matters, this is valuable information you should have. Highly recommended to anyone thinking about
entering the competitive field of Restaurant entertainment.

I was wanting to get into restaurant work for a while. I was ignorant to the art of restuarant
magic. This book fixed that.
I do restaurant work but only for just over a year.
This book is helping SO much.
The
contents are rich but not wordy.
They get to the point.
I'm so happy I own this book.
Not as much up-to-date info regarding restaurant work as their needs to be in the magic community.
This book serves a real purpose and helps one gauge the opportunities for finding employment in
restaurants. Lots of tips, tricks, and strategies for successfully navigating the restaurant
circuit. I can't imagine that, though the book was copy written in 1996, the information would be
outdated by now. I recommend it as one of the few, better written books on restaurant magic
available.
