Here’s a small tip about a small item that can make big impact.
Pack a few small gift tricks in your prop case, like Svengali Decks or Three Card Montes (the easy ones with the flap card).
When you’re interacting with audience members after the show, someone will mention his five year old kid loves magic. Tell them, “I have something for you.” Go in your case. Give a quick demo of the trick and gift it to them. Walk them through the method if necessary. Shoot a quick video on the guy’s phone telling his son what a great trick it is and encouraging him.
Will there be times you do this to solidify a client relationship or create a relationship with a prospect? Yes.
Will there be times you do this just to be a mensch and add a little happiness to the world? YES.
Will there be times when it’s BOTH? HUGE YES.
Trust me. The rewards for this are big, both in business and relationships.*
Think about this. Last I checked, you can get Svengali Decks for less than $2. TWO SMACKERS is a small cost to bring a little happy to the world. Bargain.
In a few months you’ll be in the busy holiday show season. If you don’t have them, get the gifts for your prop case now and prepare to make some happiness.
Best,
Doc Dixon
