that's actually a technique that was taught to me by my mentor who learned it from the one and only Gazzo (we're all street performers). it works REALLY well on the streets because you let the audience bottle up all that excitement and express it in other forms...or in an uproarious final clap--e.g., BILL MA-LONE BILL MA-LONE. and on the streets it translates to more dollars. of course you have to do it so the audience isn't offended. just my two cents...
it depends on where you perform, how many tourists come by, and how rare magic is in that area. you can do it kinda like a dayjob in the subway and get $15 to $20 bucks an hour. you can opt for prime tourist hours like weekends in the summer and get $75 an hour. but then you can do it like gazzo (please youtube his cups and balls), and do 3 to 4 half hour shows--he never makes less than $175 a show. depends on how big/frequentyou want your show, where you are, and of course you can't suck.
@hillgilly88 This has nothing to do with money, but effort. Effort does not equal money and some of those RU-vid tutorials are very nice. Not always do they ship DVDs worldwide, you know.
