Help Me Write New Business Cards

[Kep!]

My magic business is reborn and I need fresh cards. But, I'm working as a magician and a psychic...as a rule these two don't mix on a B-Card...one type of audience doesn't like the other. Sooooo...I'm looking for ideas on how to phrase my occupation.

Also, an ethical quandary: I would like to put a quote about my work on the card (I've worked it into the design). I have had glowing write ups by many newspapers in the past, but I lost all of them in my last move. SO! Do I fabricate one that's true but not exact or do I omit it completely to the detriment of the marketing material? Thoughts?

Wouldn't the psychics already know you do magic?

I just thought of Tobias' business cards on Arrested Development where he combined Therapist and Analyst into Analrapist.

So, you saying that Kep should be a magchic?


Kep, I would omit the quote unless you can find the real one. Newspapers do have some back issues on the internet, but not too far back usually.

You should take a cue from this guy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuOuzRx9nvo) and just call yourself "Kep!"

I always liked that scene...been ages, thanks for finding it.

Actually, I went by Kep! for years, but I decided to go a new direction, so I think it's going to be my regular name from here on out...though it's a tough call.

Interestingly, that's what they called it when I worked in The Valley.

Thanks for the ideas!

" I'm working as a magician and a psychic " = Day/Night

card with this on it.

day side car.... light with words "magician" in black script
night side card ....dark with the words " psychic" in white script

an angle like " / " between the two ...

You too...I have evil ideas.

Just call yourself 'amazing', whoever you give the card to will understand that you're a magician. Or a psychic. Whichever they find more amazing.

Try contacting the entertainment editor at the papers that reviewed you; all papers keep archives, and they may be willing to dig out the articles for you. It's worth a shot, anyhow.

If it was economically feasible, I'd say have large coins made up (cheap material, nothing expensive) with your info on it. Do a slight of hand whenever you hand someone the coin :)

It would help them if you could give them a date, even if it's just month and year....they won't hate you so bad. :whistlin:

White card, KEP! in gold with maybe a medallion around it (gold too) with your phone number in black under it. When you give the card out, you tell them who you are and what to think. Sweet, simple and to the point with the dialog as a memory point. Different,elegant, a bit mysterious. Bait. :D

[Lord Fejj]

Get one of those cards that change when you tilt it. More expensive but really neat.

Everyone's a comedian. What happened to you?

a lot has happened to me, but you'll have to be more specific or else its going to be a very long reply that everyone will get bored with a quarter of the way through and just end up skipping to the end and missing all the key points.
