#202 - Ken Kelly & Julian Mather - MagicianBusiness.com

From the "Land Down Under" and "across the Pond", Julian Mather and Ken Kelly join me on "Texas Time" to talk about their podcast phenomenon called "MagicianBusiness.com". In a little over six months they have gathered a lot of attention from magicians around the world who want their business to perform as well as they do. With an archive of over 32 weekly podcasts and more than 10,000 downloads, MagicianBusiness.com is helping more magicians understand the fundamentals of the business of the show.

Each week Ken and Julian interview some of the most successful magicians in the world. Most of those interviewed are not well known names in the magic industry but they are making good livings as professional entertainers.

In this episode, Ken and Julian talk about their respective paths that have led them to becoming business partners from unlikely places on opposite sides of the globe. They also hare a few of the secrets talked about on past episodes and they discuss an exciting new product, The Magic Tap. This is an exciting way for magician to use Google ad words. Heretofore, ad words have been more for selling shoes and t-shirts and not for performing artists. That is all changing with The Magic Tap. 

And exclusively for listeners of The Magic Word, they are offering a discount to their service. You can test drive the Magic Tap for free before you decide to buy it. And once you do, you can get the discount by just typing in the coupon code: magicword
