The Magic of Jason Bird

All right, kids. I'll be doing a FB Live tomorrow at 12pm PST to talk about Strolling For Dollars. Be there with your questions!

👉 Still wondering why your magic isn’t paying off?

Let’s be brutally honest:
Most magicians will never make real money with their magic.

They’ll keep buying tricks.
They’ll keep posting “feedback please” videos online.
They’ll keep saying “someday I’ll go pro”… but someday never comes.

Why? Because nobody ever taught them the part of magic that actually pays the bills.

Not double lifts.
Not thumb tips.
Not the latest flashy gimmick.

It’s the quiet, behind-the-scenes skills:
✔️ How to approach strangers without being awkward
✔️ How to own a cocktail hour, even when people are distracted
✔️ How to set your fees, negotiate like a pro, and stop doing gigs for peanuts
✔️ How to turn one gig into three with simple, repeatable strategies
✔️ And most importantly — how to make your personality the act they remember (not just the tricks)

I’ve spent 20+ years performing over 9,000 paid shows worldwide — from the Las Vegas Strip to luxury cruise ships to high-end corporate events.
And here’s the truth: I wasn’t the best sleight-of-hand guy in the room.
But I learned how to be the one who got booked… and rebooked… and rebooked again.

That’s exactly what I reveal in my new book:
Strolling For Dollars: How You Can Make a Living Doing Close-Up Magic

No fluff. No filler. No recycled theory.
Just the battle-tested playbook that working pros use — and that hobbyists and beginners are never told.

Here’s the catch:
Right now, the pre-sale price is only $67 until August 31st.
After that, it jumps back up to $99.

If you’ve ever dreamed of breaking free from “free shows” and finally getting paid what your magic is worth… this is your moment.

Don’t let another year go by wondering why you’re still on the sidelines while others are out there living your dream.

🚨 Big news, friends… 🚨
The first advance copy reviews of Strolling For Dollars are starting to roll in — and they’re blowing me away. Honestly, I poured my heart, years of experience, and every insider secret I could into this book… but hearing other magicians and performers call it “game-changing,” “packed with gold,” and “a must-have for anyone serious about magic” is both humbling and thrilling.

I wrote this book to give magicians the resource I wish I had when I was starting out. To see it landing so powerfully with both beginners and seasoned pros is… well, it’s a bit surreal.

✨ If you’ve been on the fence, now’s the time: pre-orders are open, and every copy reserved helps make this launch huge. ✨

Thank you to everyone who’s already taken the leap and ordered. And if you haven’t yet — trust me, you don’t want to miss this.
Let’s make magic history together.

THIS IS THE BOOK THE BIG MAGIC SHOPS DON’T WANT YOU TO READ!

You ever notice how nobody really teaches you how to make money doing close-up magic?

Sure, there are a million books on tricks…
A thousand on sleights…
But when it comes to actually turning those tricks into a full-time income?

Silence.

That’s no accident.

Because if every magician knew how to book high-paying gigs…..negotiate like a pro…..and turn walk-around magic into a six-figure career…

The magic shops wouldn’t be able to keep selling you “the next big effect” every month.

They don’t want you to read this.
But if you’re serious about making a real living doing what you love—
Then you owe it to yourself to get your hands on Strolling For Dollars.

Inside, you’ll learn:
✅ How to land repeat clients and never chase gigs again
✅ What to charge at every level (and how to raise your rates without losing work)
✅ The real secrets top pros never post online
✅ The nuts and bolts on everything from effect selection, to audience control, to wardrobe and pocket management
✅ How to turn just 10 minutes of material into a full-time income

This isn’t theory. It’s the blueprint from someone who’s actually done it—thousands of times.

📘 Pre-order it now while it's still available (at the special pre-order price) before they figure out how to make it disappear...

It is with a heavy heart that I have to announce the passing of one of my best co-stars. My pigeon “Broadway” passed away last night. She performed in hundreds of shows with me in countries around the world. She sure was a ham and I loved every minute of sharing the stage with her. She was less than a human, but so much more than just a bird. I sure will miss having breakfast with you every morning. May the wind be at your back to heaven. 🐦🥹😘
