620: Katrina Kroetch - A New Force Awakens

620 banner.jpg

“Magical Katrina” aka Katrina Kroetch, is one of the new breed of young (under 30) magicians who is making a name for herself in our business. Katrina has competed not only in magic conventions, but also on the “big stage” in Las Vegas on “Penn & Teller Fool Us.” She is adept at close-up. stand-up comedy magic and birthday parties. She also knows how to use her social media to her advantage and how to find the right people to save her hours of time. One such suggestion is to get a “personal virtual assistant” as suggested by Tim Ferriss in “The 4 Hour Work Week” (link to the book below) and by listening to his podcast.

This week, Magical Katrina talks about how and why she goes by a stage name and how she brands her identity in social media. She also talks about how she got on “Penn & Teller Fool Us” and how she got to know Penn Jillette. Katrina is not a name that is universally known, but I believe that if she keeps doing what she is doing, she will be a force to be reckoned with soon.
