Recently my wife and I went to a concert in the park in the town we live in.
The thing that drew my eye was that the band had a guitar case open for tips.
Personally I think this is tacky. I know what things like concerts in the park pay and they don’t need the tips. Watching the show, the amount of tips they got was negligible, when split over 4 people, maybe $15 bucks per person. Yeah, I get that that’s gas money…or you could charge what you need to make for the gig!
Another option would be to get some merch, sell stickers, CD’s or whatever.
How does this apply to magic? Simple, if you’re getting paid, don’t solicit tips.
