I guess it can be hard to distinguish what a Professional Magician is. I Consider myself as a Professional Magician as I am able to take a look at the clients wants. For example if I have been requested for a trade show I'll take the time to look into the company and discover what main points I want to know to help in promoting there service. Like wise if I've been requested for a wedding reception I am going to need to know precisely what the Customer wants, it isn't always the same. Some shows I'm asked to walk around and just entertain where as other shows I am asked to try and concentrate on keeping the 2 families from fighting.
Another key point from what separates a Magician from a Professional Magician is having the facility to make a routine especially for a situation rather than just doing the same tricks that the magician has been doing for the last 10 years.
I mostly accept that a Professional Magician desires to keep a specific style
What does One mean? Well if you are a magician that performs for children parties then put your attention on what it is that will make youngsters cheerful and on the flip side if your a Magician that specializes in performing for an adult audience then truly study what adults enjoy and take time to put yourself in the audiences shoes - Is the magic or comedy in your show designed to make them feel good or is it a manipulative type of comedy that gets a cheap chuckle that may make the spectators feel uneasy.
To my mind I believe it helps to be flexible with the show you can offer. For example I Perform for an adult audience however I have learnt many effects and some balloon modelling which will cater for children that may be present at say a Marriage. But I'd never consider myself as a professional children's Magician. My experience is in performing for adults and that explains why I consider myself as a Professional Magician for an adult audience.
