A text teaching independent performers–magicians, speakers, jugglers and others–to manage and market their services. The book shares the author’s 40 years of experience managing and producing live entertainment projects from Broadway to Las Vegas, at International Arts Festivals and Corporate Theater around the world. “The book I wish I had read at the beginning of my career–still not available anywhere else, so I had to write it!”–Tobias Beckwith
Tobias Beckwith
Author, speaker, creator of magical experiences.
A lifetime working in live entertainment has provided Tobias Beckwith with rare insights into the ways both performers and audiences are transformed by their experiences. He shares this unique knowledge through his books “The Performer’s Edge,” “The Wizard’s Way,” ”The Wizard’s Way to Powerful Presentations,” and “Beyond Deception, Volumes 1 & 2,” as well as in his speaking, consulting, directing and teaching work.
Trained as an actor, director, and designer for the theater, Tobias taught in the performing arts program at the University of Pittsburgh before relocating to New York City. There, he counted himself fortunate to work on the production and management teams for “The Fantasticks,” the original Broadway production of “Sweeney Todd” and the long running “Oh! Calcutta!” Since 1988, Tobias has worked almost exclusively with top magicians Jeff McBride and Marco Tempest, managing, directing and producing events in Las Vegas, off-Broadway, for corporate events, and on tour to theaters and arts festivals around the world. He founded his first corporation in 1988.
