Magicians! it’s time to get new business cards… for free!
If you have been doing paid gigs for a while you already know the importance of having a few of these in your pocket just in case someone jumps onto you at the end of the evening.
It happens all the time, you get to sign a few ace of spades for their nephews, fake your perfect smile for their facebook photos and in the best scenarios you are asked for your email for a 6 years old’s birthday party.
Exactly the goal you had in mind the first time you picked up your first deck of playing cards…
Anyway, business cards are an extremely valuable tool for communicating your services, specially if they are well designed, you never know, maybe you could stumble upon a business card collector weirdo adicted to modern design and expensive exotic tea…
So, talk to the pros and see what they are doing. If you don’t have your set of business cards yet here is a nice deal to get you started. But first let’s take a look at what you should include in them…
10 Things that MUST be in your Business Cards
Essentials
1- Artsy non-overburdened background, keep it clean and stylish.
2- Good typography. If you are a noob use Helvetica. It ALWAYS works.
3- Professional email. You don’t want everyone to add your personal msn to their list.
4- Three words that define your craft. Example… “Magician. Illusionist. Mind Reader”
5- Website URL with contant info and some sexy photos
Optional
6- Phone number (optional) Only if you are not a stressed person and aim for local gigs only.
7- Twitter account. Never underestimate this.
8- Facebook icon before your name. This way they can see you are a 2.0 kinda guy.
9-A portait of your smiling face. Only if you are super cute or Tamariz-alike. They will keep it just for the “lulz”
10-A pokemon. Don’t ask.
If you want to give it a go open up your Photoshop and start putting these ideas together or you can just do it with the Vistaprint Editor they provide you with a bunch of not-so-cool premade templates.
Just go ahead to the pro editor, you are a magician!
I got my cards a while ago there because of this awesome deal they have for the first order. They give you 250 business cards completely free of charge.
How is that possible you ask? Well, it’s not that free. You have to pay a stupid tiny “2 bucks or so” shipping fee, but trust me it is completely worthy for what you get.
Got get yours now, trust me this is one of the Best Magic Deals you can get if you aim to be a pro magician.
