In reading the Prescott Daily Courier write-up of Ms. Taylor’s “There’s Magic in Books” presentation to an elementary school, I had the notion that she was from the Western United States.

So I checked Google for her website and found a most impressive location on the Internet. It turns out Ms. Taylor is from right around the Mystic Hollow area of Michigan. She is from Ohio, just south of the border. I’ve asked Missy to add her site to the Links of Fame.

It also turns out that Ms. Taylor will be appearing in the South Eastern Michigan area this March. I know Tim will be there – with my digital camera in hand – to do his “up close and personal” review; assuming he can get in. I know he is attending the Toledo Magic Convention and she’ll appear there along with The Pendragons.

I’ve looked a lot of magic web pages but there are two things that stand out about Ms. Taylor’s: it is very professional and it is very up to date. She has included show dates that are actually in this decade. I’ve seen a ton of sites where the show dates are from the late 1990’s. Ms. Taylor apparently cares about the info she is providing and updates it constantly.

The site also is perfectly set up for the corporate or school booking person. It provides a neat path to the decision to book Ms. Taylor for your next event. You learn about her background in magic, her ambitions and her ability to perform for whatever event you have. One of the things I found impressive was her “products” section. The product is essentially an outline of her lecture notes on how to book your own show. She notes:

“Getting a gig is a full time job. If you want to get more work performing, these lecture notes are for you.

I have performed for 20 years a crossed the county, no agent has gotten me the work, I have done it myself and so can you. No one taught me how to book myself, because there was nothing out there to learn from. So now I share my knowledge with the magic community.”

I think this statement does two things: it gains the respect of magicians (with the hope to have those same magicians engage her for a lecture); but, 2) it also tells the corporate or school booking person that Ms. Taylor is an experienced veteran and is able to share that experience with other magicians – she is a magician’s magician. This was very impressive and I wonder if it has that effect on those people responsible for booking.

If Tim does find his way to her show, we’ll include a review of it here. Until then, check out her web site for a very impressive piece of marketing and technology. It works and it works for her.
