A Magic Job
Ken Flannagan began his career in the magic industry only two years ago, but he has already
managed to make a name for himself. When he first started out as a trainee magician at the age of
fifteen, his parents werent very thrilled about it. They thought that he wouldnt be able to earn a
decent living and they tried to convince him otherwise.
Luckily, Kens mentor (the well-known magician Malcolm Potts) taught him well. Malcolm
insisted that he practise day and night. Perfecting his own tricks and inventing new ones was the
key to Kens success. Soon, he was participating in some of his mentors shows and then worked
on his own.
He is now a performer at childrens parties and other events throughout the city. Most recently, just
last October, he won first prize at the Annual Junior Magicians Convention in Minneapolis. Since
then, he has been earning $400 per performance, which you have to admit isnt too bad for
someone who hasnt even graduated from school yet!
What does this teach us? Sometimes you just have to take a chance! Ken often says, If youre
determined you can be successful, so dont let anyone tell you what you can and cant do. Were
not surprised!

e.g. Ken has been working as a magician for two years.
