Step1
Search want ads and job listings for magician's assistant openings. Typically, magicians want someone fairly small and that doesn't weigh a lot, given the nature of the tricks they perform.
Step2
Visit local amusement parks' human resource departments to inquire whether they are looking for any help in their magic show acts. Be congenial, but also have an air of mystique about yourself.
Step3
Audition for the magician, presenting yourself in a theatrical way. Ask him what he wants from an assistant, and let him know that you can be any way he wants you to be during performances.
Step4
Choose your words carefully during your interview. This can indicate your ability to keep your mouth shut. Inquire whether compensation is based on a show-by-show bases or on a weekly basis.
Step5
Keep the secrets of your magician well. This can ensure the longevity of your career as a magician's assistant. Join the magician's union; it often takes in the assistants as well.
