How Often Do You Perform?

[Dayton76]

I just want to get an idea of how often do you guys perform magic for people? As for myself, it goes through phases. Sometimes I may do something for someone 2 times during a week, and other times (if I am around a lot of new people that dont know i do magic) I will do something at least once a day. How about you guys?

I perform everytime when the situation is right. It varies from once a week to maybe ten times a week.

I do magic when we have guests at home, when I am at parties, when meeting new people and sometimes I have payed gigs. In future I've planning on doing some more gigs, but at this point magic is more like a hobby to me.

You seem to mean "unofficial performances" with your question.
I show a couple of effects (usually two) If I'm with someone I don't know. Usually if don't show anything if I'm asked, or I say "I may show you something later".
I don't believe it's possible to show something new on weekly basis, and I'm not into that street magic fad, so I don't show effects regularly.

i don't perform enough, i don't have a good nerve or being able to stay calm. Gotta work on that a bit.

Every time I go out and see the chance and see some people.

Well, there's paid performances, and that depends on how many gigs come my way. Usually when I do a gig it'll be for about 2 hours tablehopping/walkaround for about 200 people. Christmas and Summer seasons I might do this 2 or 3 times a week - outside of these times, maybe once or twice a month.

Sometimes I'll perform for my students if we have a few minutes to kill and someone asks for a trick. That's usually once a week or so. Other than that, I have a bunch of people who really enjoy magic who I consider "test spectators" - if I'm thinking of working something into my professional act, I'll show it to these guys first to see how it plays. Right now I'm working on two items in particular that are going to "do the rounds" in the next couple of weeks.
