The basis of this service is quite simple: a magic
show that can be enjoyed by the entire family, that a group sells
tickets to, allowing them to make money, as well as raises awareness
for their cause - all while having a lot of fun.
With this program there are no catalogs, no inventory, no shipping
and handling. There are no cheaply made products to see that no
one wants yet still buys because they want to help out with a good
cause.
Instead, this program provides a high quality and entertaining magic
and illusion show that the entire family can enjoy at an affordable
ticket price.
There are a number of ways to make money using this program, but
it is the show, Access to Oddities,
Brian Scott Productions' premier stage show that acts as the back
bone and nerve center for it all. This is the same show that plays
in theaters and at corporate functions and large events.
Below you will find some of the FAQ that should help answer some
of your questions. If you have any additional questions
about how you can use this service please do not hesitate to call

FAQ
Who can use M3?
PTO/PTA's, Civic Groups, Non-profits,
High School groups, Church groups, and just about anyone else that
belongs to a group that needs to raise funds.
How long is the show?
Access to Oddities is a 90 minute show that includes a 15 minute
intermission (allowing you to make extra money with a concession
sidecar).
What are Sidecar fundraisers?
Sidecar fundraisers are small add-on fundraisers that compliment
the show and work at their best when done in tandem with the main
driving force of the show. Often you can cover all your costs with
a sidecar fundraiser allowing every ticket sold to be pure profit.
Can there be more than one show in a day if we sell out
the first show?
Yes! You could have up to three shows in one day in many situations.
What is the price of tickets?
Ticket prices are set by the organization using M3, however they
generally run between $7 -$15.
How long do we need to plan and run this program?
It is advised to have no less than 4-6 weeks to operate this program.
How many people do we need to work the event?
The more the merrier. Although the size of the group is not what
matters, it is the determination of those who are in the group that
equates success. With that being said a skeleton crew of at least
7 individuals is recommended.
What do you provide?
I provide the show, the know-how, constant phone/e-mail consultation,
an in-person consultation session, and a simple step-by-step manual
that helps guarantee your success.
What do we provide?
What you do is provide the location, the team to sell tickets, you
collect the monies, you run as many sidecar fundraisers as you want
and you are responsible for paying the performer's fees and any
other fees associated with your event... not to mention, bask in
the spotlight for putting on a great show and operating an amazing
fundraiser.
Do you provide posters and tickets?
Yes, I provide a starter kit of enough posters to create visibility,
and all of the tickets.
How do you get paid? Do you take a percentage of ticket
sales?
I work on a flat fee, which means you determine how much you can
make! Many time fundraisers like this take a percentage, forcing
you, at times, to set higher than sellable ticket prices. I don’t
- because I feel that you should have a single goal toward which
to work and that you should reap the most for a job well
done - the harder you work the more money you make. Why should I
make extra money just because you did all the extra work, this way
there are no awkward moments between us and nothing is hidden.
How much of a deposit is needed?
There is no money up front and payment is not due until one week
prior to show day.
Will other groups in our town be able to use the program
while we do?
Your group will have exclusive show rights for 6 months in its town
and all of its immediately neighboring towns.
I hope this answers many of your
questions. I look forward to hearing from you soon so we can start
working on Magically Making Money for your group!
