013—Thom Britton

How do you get adults to pay money to watch a children's show? Thom Britton has turbocharged his approach, taking a genre that's usually for kids—the science show—and recreated it for grownups. He'll discuss how he markets and sells tickets for his shows; explain the importance of having an artistic point of view, even when performing in a genre that might not seem to require one; and provide a no-holds-barred outsider's opinion of magic and magicians that will help you self-analyze.
