"There's some really great advice in 'Nightclub Magic' for any magician wanting to break into performing in night-clubs. It's crammed with solid info clearly from someone who knows that business inside out and has personally cracked it." - JOHN GORDON / MAGIC WORKS
"If you want to branch into the highly lucrative market of performing in nightclubs you HAVE to read this. If you want to go from a hobbyist magician to a full time professional magician then this book is a must read, the information contained in this book is pure gold!" It is very clear to see that Stephen has worked 'in the trenches' at different nightclubs for a number of years and in this work Stephen holds nothing back. The book is chock full of advice and tips that has taken Stephen years to gain, so I take my hat off to Stephen for taking the time and effort to share this highly valuable information. The book isn't just for those who want to break into the nightclub scene, the information and advice contained in this work also applies to all gigs and venues so every performer or budding performer would do well to read this work. Also included in this fantastic book are a few excellent routines Stephen uses in his professional work, they are hard hitting and straight to the point. I always mention at my lectures that if you learn how to perform in noisy type venues (nightclubs) then you can work just about anywhere in the world because there is no language barrier to break through - so this is another reason every magician 'must' read this book! Highly recommended! - GARY JONES
“For a magician who started his career in the nightclubs as a nightclub magician and worked in this industry for nine years as a magician and then as an manager and owner of late night venues, even though Stephen has worked for me, if any magician who is looking to start in this area, this book offers all the advice you’ll need to secure a booking and helps you secure them in a very professional manor, if this was around back in the early nineties when I started I would of snapped this up and paid much more, as if you follow Stephen’s guide you will hone your material and gain new work from this. Great guide and nicely written. Bravo”- MARK BENNETT of Illusions Magic Bar and Smoke and Mirrors
