Magicians can make big bucks
The film “The Illusionist,” which opened Friday, contains several scenes where Edward Norton, the title character, discusses with his manager the not too shabby revenue generated by his performances. When it comes to money, there’s nothing illusionary about the often big-bucks profession of magic, either in the movies or real life.
Although many people regard magicians as small-time players who eke out a living as children’s birthday-party entertainers, that perception, ladies and gentlemen, is an illusion.
“Show business is comprised of two things – the show and the business,” says Aaron Radatz, a magician and illusionist who’s based in Las Vegas and performs, in a tan suit with “a very relaxed look,” in the U.S. and abroad. His annual income, in an average or above-average year, has hit seven-figures. “At the top of the pyramid, you can do very well, especially people who have had their own television specials.”
