"So
you’ve got a decent magic act and are ready to make money at it. As any entertainment
pro can tell you, it’s quite a leap to turn a magic obsession into a profitable
business. Fortunately, magicians Elliott Smith and Ian Quick have written “Highway to Success
,” a road guide, so to speak, that offers a solid foundation in business basics with
an emphasis on entertainment. The book is a useful and easy read that dispenses excellent
advice that can help you make the move into show “business.” Wayne

"Holy
Toledo! This is an amazing book. For $20.00 you will learn more in 176 pages than in 15
years of messing around and making mistakes in the business. Elliott Smith & Ian Quick
have this book in a very easy to understand format that, if you are thinking of entering
magic as a profession (or semi-profession), you'll have the tools you need."

large, medium-sized, and run his own small business for many years, I feel this book could
be invaluable if read carefully and the advice followed rigorously."

Ottawa
Business Journal
"Their new book, Highway to Success - The Entertainer's Roadmap to Business, relies
on Smith's 35 years as a professional magician and draws on Quick's experiences getting
going in the industry after abandoning a law career.
But
perhaps the real magic of the book is that it applies to anyone with a dream who just
needs a little business savvy to get off the ground." |
