Making Money From Your Magic

I saw a thread similar to this one, but I wanted to make another, that hopefully will be a bit broader, and one that we can get more people involved in to produce a solid thread with a lot of knowledge on how to get money from your magic. Like how to get a restaurant gig? Daycare gig? Birthday Parties? Corporate Events? Street Magic? And whatever else you can think of. I really want to see what other people have to say about making money with their magic. Because magic tricks, cards, and props all cost money and it would be nice to use them to generate some! I know of two video series on youtube that I hope you guys may find useful. First being a huge series done by Penguinmagic which is all about the business involved with magic. But I particularly like the section on restaurant gigs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtR3t...el_video_title

Magicgeek also has a short video series (I believe they're still working on it) About making money from street magic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jRO-...feature=relmfu

So there is something that can hopefully start this thread off nicely. I really hope you all comment with questions for other magicians here, comment with answers, with advice, or anything that the magicians on this site may find useful!
Thanks for taking the time to read this!

P.S. I apologize for how scatter-brained this post was :P
