Survey Results
I have been looking at the results of a short survey that I did and I wanted to share the results with you.
But first thank you to everyone who took the time to get involved. Also thank you to the people who left so much positive feedback about the blog. So here are the results:
Performance Interest
Performance Skills – 70%
Act development – 85%
Technique – 37%
Effects & Routines – 65%
Non Performance Interest
Sales & Marketing – 57%
Web & Print Design – 30%
Business Development – 57%
Personal Development – 57%
Preferred Format
PDF – 12%
Video – 43%
Blog – 50%
Live Presentation – 65%
Now to be fair it wasn’t a great survey on my part and I probably didn’t think it through as well as I should have but the results were interesting. So here is my take on it:
It was good to see that many of you are intent on improving as performers which is something I want to blog more about. I will also be releasing a few effects and routines over the next few months when I get round to it. The biggest concern you all had was act development and so I will try to give as much valuable input as I can and will use my own progress as an example. It’s easy to build an act but very difficult to build a good one that people will pay to see.
Business and personal development didn’t rate as highly as I wanted but then this is a blog for magicians! I will keep writing about these however as it is important and there was enough interest to justify it. I promise not to give any design advice – probably best.
The last bit is a little confusing as you want live presentations but no video – difficult on-line but all I can assume is that you meant you preferred Live generally for information and not just from me. Like I said bad questionnaire. I am planning a number of online video presentations and will hopefully have some of those out before the autumn.
So I will finish with one last question: What do you want – If you could have me build the ideal “product” for you, related to magic and the business of magic, what would it be? Answers in the comments box please.
