When an opportunity presents itself you take it right. That is how it is supposed to happen.
My Experience
I recently moved to a new town. I have been doing magic for about three years. I am really good at what I do. One day I happened to walk into the local mall. I wasn't there to do magic, but I had a couple of effects on me at the time. I really wasn't sure what this mall had to offer so I walked around for a little bit. I noticed there was a children's recreation place. It had laser tag, bounce houses, arcade games, and etc. I went in to see what it was all about. I went to the front desk. I asked her what the place was. After that I introduced myself and explained I wasn't from the area. Soon after I showed her and her boss a couple of magic tricks. They were amazed. They were in complete awe. I didn't ask for employment, but she gave me an application. She said that I was just what that place needed. She told me to fill out an application. I did and turned it in within three days. A week passed and nothing happened. That week I went to JCPennys. Since I was in the mall I decided to step in to the children's recreational place. They told me to get a show together and come in and show it to them when it was ready. At the time I was loaded with school work. After I got done with the work I began to focus on the magic. I spent the next two weeks gathering tricks for the show and rehearsing. The Friday of that week I walked into the shop. There was a different lady at the desk this time, but the owner of the store was still there. I later found out the new lady was his wife. I was led to setup at a nearby table. By the time I had gotten setup they told me to come back another day. I told him I would be back soon because I wanted to start performing because of what he and the lady had told me the first day. He then told me "who said you would ever do that, what made her tell you that". In my mind I was thinking "you were there,you witnessed my magic, why are you a different person". He also said that my mom would have to be present and she would have to give me permission to perform there. My mom was in the car. I brought her into the establishment. When she was in there he acted like he didn't even know why I was there. He was acting like I was never supposed to be in there place. My mom and I saw that things were going no where so we ended the conversation politely and left.
Success is the Best Revenge
The next day we traveled to a nearby town. We shopped around and went a local bar-b-que restaurant. I again happened to have a few effects on me. I showed a silk vanish to a waitress. She then told a cook about it. Five minutes later she came around with the cook. I then performed the silk vanish again. They were completely blown away. Then I went to the buffet got some food. While at the buffet a different cook asked me about the trick. I ate for the next twenty minutes. When I was finished I asked the waitress if I could show her another trick. She said she needed to fix up some tea but she would be back. She didn't fix any tea. She returned in less than a minute with two cooks, two waitresses, and the manager. I was asked to perform the silk vanish again. I did, but that wasn't the only trick I had. I was asked to do another trick so I performed a multiple dollar bill change with a story. After they watched the bills change the were in awe. My story telling was good too. When we were about to leave I asked if I could start working there as a walk around magician. The manager told me her parents own the store, but they will most likely have no problem with me working there. I gave her my number and she told me she would contact me about it. I will let you guys know the results when she gives me a call.
