READ THIS PLEASE OR DON’T ANSWER
Okay, I liked it a lot, and my mom said she’ll buy it for me for sure, she promised. Now I am starting to think that it will be to easy for me, I have no magic experience. But I pick things up really fast, and I want some thing challenging, and it should have a lot of (i mean like 200-100000000000…) tricks in it. I want It to be fun, challenging, and amazing tricks, that aren’t seen often. I want this a lot, because I like magic, its cool. Its fun to watch magic tricks. To me, it seems more fun, doing and seeing peoples faces, and their concentration focusing on trying to figure out how that works. I love magic and I want to have a nice, nonexpensive, kit.
PS i am not choosing to be a magician for my career, but if I did how much money would I make if I was good? bad? ok? famous? not known? Should I make it like a mini job to do for fun, but put my main job first, whatever.
It really isn’t the amount of tricks you know so much as it is how intricate the tricks you do know are and how well you can amaze your audience by doing them. You are not going to find a magic kit with 200-1,000,000,000 tricks in one kit. They just don’t come that way. This kit has 70 tricks and they are advanced tricks and I think for a beginner, that’s plenty enough. In fact, I think you’re overestimating yourself and may find yourself a bit overwhelmed if you were to get a kit like this to begin with, but it’s your choice. What a magician makes is pretty much similar to what an actor/actress makes. 80% of aspiring actors/actresses never get any work at all. 19% of them get some work and make enough as extra spending money or maybe enough to pay for a cheap studio apartment. The other 1% will make it big and make huge amounts of money. So, approaching this with the intent of it being a profession is a huge gamble. You more than likely would starve, but there is a chance you could get lucky and do well. A little of that is based on how hard you work and how great and original your tricks are, but most of it is just plain, simple luck.

re. your PS
I had a teacher in high school who was very into magic.
He said that he did not go into it for a career because he had one bad habit.
He liked being able to afford to eat.
Only a handful of people make a living at this.

It is better to know one magic trick very well that 100 adequately. You can find information on magic you can create yourself at your local public library.
Over 40 years a magician and counting.
