About this course
The Curtain Call Cash guide tells you what to do. This course shows you.
Every stage pitch is performed out loud, filmed at real shows. A real sale is taken at the table on a phone while the next person waits. The edit is done in front of you, so the video goes out by the next morning.
Short video lessons take you from the one time setup to your first three shows, in the same order as the guide. A Resources module holds the full guide and every printable. Watch one in the green room, then walk on and sell the show.
Heads up: We use ClientBranch to create and deliver every sale, before, during and after the show, so that's what you'll see on screen. You can use any platform you like, as long as the right tools are in place: a way to take payments at the table, a contact list that tags every buyer, private video delivery, and email to follow up.

Who this is for
Hypnotists, magicians, mentalists, comedians who work the crowd, and every act that brings volunteers up on stage.
If the room loves your show but walks out with nothing, this course is for you. It turns the twenty minutes after the applause into your biggest sale of the night.

Common questions
Who is this course for?
Stage hypnotists, magicians, mentalists, comedians who work the crowd, and anyone whose show is built on people from the audience. If volunteers come up on stage, the video of your show is worth buying.
How long is it?
Just under two hours of video, in short lessons. Most run two to four minutes, so you can watch one in the green room before you walk on. The guide and every printable are in the Resources module.
Can I watch a lesson before I buy?
Yes. The Welcome lesson is free to watch on this page, with no account needed.
What gear do I need to start?
A camera, the sound from your mixer or the venue's desk, and the phone you already have. The gear lesson goes from a pocket camera all the way to a multi camera setup, so you can start small.
Do I need ClientBranch?
No. We use ClientBranch to create and deliver every sale, before, during and after the show, so that's what you'll see. Any platform works, as long as the right tools are in place: a way to take payments at the table, a contact list that tags every buyer, private video delivery, and email to follow up.
Can I legally sell a video with music in it?
There's a full lesson on music rights: what you need, what performers often get wrong, and the options that keep your video sellable. General information, not legal advice.
How long do I keep access?
For life. Watch on any phone, tablet or computer, and come back to any lesson before your next show.
Is the guide included?
Yes. Every lesson follows a chapter of the Curtain Call Cash guide. You'll find it in the Resources module, with every printable ready to download.
Can I get a refund?
This course is sold on a no refunds basis. The Welcome lesson is free to watch on this page before you buy, so please use it to be sure it is right for you. By enrolling you confirm you have read and accept this.
