We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Jamahl Keyes a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, Jamahl thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Alright, so you had your idea and then what happened? Can you walk us through the story of how you went from just an idea to executing on the idea

Jamahl Keyes was thrust into all of the business’s he currently has do to survival and taking advantage of his resources in times of need…(The Need Being Money)

At the early age of 3 he saw his first Broadway Show and throughout the years grew a love and deep admiration for theater and speaking.

He then saw the money that could be had in both industries and birthed his 3 business’s from his knowledge and experience in both industries.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

I was 3 years old when I saw my first musical and it had me memorized with the performing arts. Years later my mother would do magic tricks for me during supper just to get me to read and instead of her telling me how to do the treat I was forced to read about all of these books of tricks which then became my love and passion for the art of magic.

Being a comedy magician in the beginning, performing all over the world doing shows, making special appearances and sharing stages in varieties shows, tv shows, exotic circuses, cruise lines and more. Head lining in casinos in the city of Las Vegas, New Jersey, at some of the most profitable hotels on the boardwalk, my being just a magician turned into more that just that.

My gift of reaching all types of audiences was ultimately the best MAGIC for me. I utilized my talent and was able to spread myself and my magic into worlds that I could only imagine such as the corporate and business world, where in some bookings you may in a large meeting room and not always a stage setting.

These events brought more that just laughter but motivation that multi millionaire companies needed for the sake of sales and productions.

This is when my Magic shifted in a way that I never knew it could. Motivational speaking and Motivational Magic opened the doors to more clientele and a whole new world of opportunity, and once that wave started I began to receive as well as others who wanted to take their talent into a world that is never ending. In other words, don’t limit your talent, niche your craft. I knew magic could take me places, from fortune 500 companies, school corporations, to even just local events in the city, the demand on entertainment was just as prevalent in that world as it was in casinos and theaters.

Thus the Entertainers Edge was born. What is The Entertainers Edge? The Entertainers Edge is a safe place for you to find easy to implement marketing and sales strategies that will help any public speaker and entertainer make more money. While using your talents and applying the marketing behind it, this was a no brainer when it came to others who wanted to follow in my foot steps. The idea is to branch out in a way that is outside the box or not the regular traditional wait for a call. These tools that we share on The Entertainers edge are valuable and have helped hundreds of entertainers from public speakers, professional jugglers, Magicians and even more.

Both of my top selling marketing books are award winning, and I have trained over 20 years of presenting marketing and money making strategies to business owners, entertainers, speakers and variety artist all around the world. The Entertainers Edge has successfully created and presented very entertaining and informative talks that help everyone’s bottomline.

Can you open up about a time when you had a really close call with the business?

This is a easy one!

It was the morning of September 11, 2001 (you read it right 9/11). I was in the basement of a 3 bedroom condo my wife Tiphanny and I closed on 6 months earlier, looking at the news and a nightmare revealed itself in front of my eyes.

I was booked 2 years out headlining cruise ships and at that moment the comfort of bookings and our financial outlooked changed within minutes.

It was at that time I realized the importance of a email list, referrals and testimonials.

What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?

The unlearned story is…You are hired because you have the best act! UNTRUE!

You are hired and get repeat bookings because of relationships….
