I'm sitting down to RE-READ Dan Cain's book, "Get Paid to Perform" and I wanted to share my
thoughts.
The downside: It's a little short. There are a few areas I'd like more details on
the ins and outs of being a paid performer.

It
downloads as a PDF so you can read it on your computer or device of choice. I found it easy to read

Like most
of you I have a big stack of books on magic. But this is the first one I've bought on how to be a
professional businessman who happens to be a magician.
