Dear Fellow Performer:

            You’re about to discover a complete system for developing, booking and performing fundraising shows for community organizations … a system that earns me a great living (grossing up to $100,000 or more in as few as 12 weeks per year!).

I’ve closely guarded my methods for over 20 years.  That’s how long I’ve been using this system.  It’s NEVER been offered to other performers until now (in a moment I’ll explain why I’m letting go of this information at this time).


No fluff.  No pipedreams.  The exact system I’ve been using for over two decades to raise money for schools, service clubs, youth groups, associations, societies and many others.  A system that’s been so amazingly successful at raising money for these organizations that my show tours have been SELL-OUTS for seven straight seasons … with many groups booking my fundraising show year after year after year!

            A System You Can Put To Work Immediately That’ll “Jump-Start” You Into The Highly Profitable Fundraising Industry … And Allow You To Very Quickly DOMINATE That Market.

Developing and perfecting this system has allowed me to seize control of my magic career.  It’s enabled me to turn what used to be a “dead” season into my most profitable time of the year!  It’s given me the opportunity to perform the kind of magic I want, for the type of audiences I choose. 


Fundraising show opportunities are limitless.  Especially in this day and age.  The baby-boomer family market is HUGE, and getting bigger.  You can see this for yourself … just look at the renewed box-office popularity of Disney movies.  Look at how much family TV programming is now being offered.  Look at the phenomenal success of the “Harry Potter” and “Goosebumps” books.  And “The Magic Schoolbus”.  The list goes on and on.

The reason for all this “family audience product” is obvious.  There’s a LOT of families out there!

And of course, more families mean more schools.  More schools mean more parent committees, more student councils, more field trips, more band uniforms.  More families also mean more minor sports, more daycare societies, more kid camps, more community programs.

Government funding for these sorts of things is drying up all the time … which is why there’s a growing demand on fundraising to help groups carry on their programs and activities. 

I’ve been making a great living off this demand for years.  With my system in your hands, you can too.  


Pretty simple, really … I no longer fear competition in this arena.  When it comes to doing fundraising shows in my market, I’m THE guy.  I’ve got as much work as I can handle (as you’ve already learned, my show tours have been selling-out for years).

Also, I don’t plan on expanding my territory.  With a wife and two young kids, I’m staying pretty close to home these days.  Being based in Richmond BC on the west coast of Canada, there’s little chance that I’m going to be looking for work in Flint MI, Albuquerque NM, Tallahassee FL or wherever you may hail from. 

Yeah, sure, I hope to make a buck or two from releasing my methods.  But let’s get this straight … magic’s been very, very good to me.  I’ve accumulated a warehouse of priceless experience from focusing on the fundraising market during the past twenty years. 

I’m a specialist in the field.  What I’ve learned through the school of hard knocks is of tremendous value to anyone else that wants to shrink the learning curve and leap-frog up the ladder in this fast-growing, hugely profitable market. 

            I’ll not only show you how I’ve done it, I’ll provide a step-by-step system that you can use to duplicate – perhaps even surpass – my success.    


What’s more (and for me, this has been the best part) … my system doesn’t involve telemarketing.  It also doesn’t rely on percentage-based income. 

Now, I’m not saying that you can’t do well with these other ways of doing fundraising shows.  There are certainly those who’ve had their success with telemarketing.  It just wasn’t for me, that’s all. 

I’ve simply never had any desire to go through the process of setting up phone rooms, hiring and managing employees, risking a large amount of capital on the venture, and taking the heat for being associated with an industry filled with “boiler room” fly-by-nighters.  Let’s face it:  telemarketing has a cloudy reputation at best.  Besides … who likes being hassled by phone salespeople anyway?!?


            And, as for “percentage” arrangements?

            Frankly, I’m just not comfortable with the risk factor.  You know … where you put yourself at the mercy of the group you’re working with, praying that they’ll make the effort necessary to fill the seats at your shows in the hopes that you can both make some money. 

            Or where you have to bust your knuckles doing a whole bunch of pre-show promoting, and nursing sponsors along.  Then too, there’s the added stress of not even knowing how much you’re being paid to do your show until after it’s all over!

Hey, some groups do a fine job.  But for those that don’t, you’ve just invested a ton of time, effort and money to do a show for free?  Or at a loss???  Uh, uh.  I don’t think so.  Not for me.

Besides … the only sponsors I’ve ever seen do alright with a percentage arrangement (and again, only some of the time) are schools.  One of the major reasons for my success is that I’m not limited to doing just school fundraisers.  Because of the system I’ve developed, my client base has expanded TEN-FOLD to include many, many other types of community organizations ... all of whom have an equal opportunity to raise thousands of dollars by following the project plan I provide them.

Eliminate the uncertainty of getting a percentage of ticket sales. 

So as for percentages … no, thanks.  I want to sell my show for the money I think it’s worth, and get it.  Which is exactly what I’ve been doing for over 20 years with this system.

And, guess what?  Perfecting this system has created greater success for my sponsors, too.  Groups that work with my program consistently raise between $1,000 and $3,000 … with earnings frequently being as high as $5,000 to $8,000!!!  (yes indeed … my sponsors love me!).


            For starters, the fundraising program I’ve developed puts the sponsor in the driver’s seat.  It’s a step-by-step plan that literally lets a group decide how much they want to earn from your show event and go out and get it.  Simply by following the plan and using the tools provided, they’re able to raise as much money as they need. 

(As you can see from the sponsor testimonials I’ve included with this report, groups working with this plan typically raise in the thousands of dollars for their organizations).

Providing this project plan to groups that book your show achieves two things:

Firstly, having this step-by-step system empowers your sponsors.  They have complete control over their fundraising project.  They don’t have to worry that a third-party promoter is representing their group improperly, or that they’ll receive their entitled share of the proceeds.  They decide how much they want to make, and simply follow the steps outlined in the plan. 

The really big plus is that they’ll be able to use this system to achieve greater success with a good many more of their other fundraisers … talk about providing extra-value to your customers! 

The second thing achieved by this program is that it reduces your involvement and eliminates your risk.  You’ll be able to do what I do – namely, book the show for the amount you want, give ’em the Project Kit, and you’re pretty much finished!  Now, all that’s left is the fun part … doing the show! 

What I’ve done for you is thrown my system under the microscope and dissected the entire process … everything I’ve been doing for the past two decades to become the fundraising show leader in my market. 

            And I mean … EVERYTHING.    

You’ll learn my complete system for developing, booking and performing fundraising shows for community groups.  To make it as easy as possible for you to put this information into practice, the course is broken apart and organized into five fat sections that give you absolutely everything you need to know to explode into the lucrative fundraising market. 

             In the first section I reveal all of my secrets for finding, contacting and selling a sponsor.  You’ll discover which groups are best suited to utilize and be successful with your fundraising show.  You’ll learn where to look for them.  You’ll find out what to offer, and how.  Specifically, you’ll discover …

How and where to find thousands of organizations that can use your fundraising show!

How to qualify leads and turn them into Hot Prospects practically begging you to book a show for them!

You’ll get the full backstage tour … I’ll turn it inside-out and reveal a complete top to bottom template that you can use to immediately create a killer Project Kit for your own sponsors.  Besides the tools and the fundraising plan, you’ll also find out about …

            I’ll provide you with sample documents, forms and templates that you can use to develop your own customized organizational and communications tools.  Here, you’ll get the real “skinny” on …

 How I say "thank you" to my sponsors (the plain simple technique that helps create a bond with my sponsors - and provides me with a tremendous marketing tool as well!)

How to quickly build a press folder stuffed with great reviews of your show! 

            In the fourth section, we’ll unmask the show itself.  You’ll learn everything necessary to be able to offer your show as a stand-alone fundraising event.  I’ll walk you through my own show, including the technical elements, selection of material, daily timetable, tour schedules and much more. 

            In addition to all of this real-world, practical information you’ll also discover ... 

The best time to schedule performances for sponsors

The vitally important element your fundraising show must have

Section Five of the course teaches you how to wring a mountain of extra dollars out of your fundraising shows.  Here’s where your investment in this material will be recovered many, many times over.


You’ll discover multiple income streams you never dreamed of, as I reveal some of the methods I’ve used (and continue to use) that enable me to make plenty of added money from each and every show I do.  In fact, through these strategies I’ve been able to make more money by doing fewer shows! 

            (This affords me a greater amount of time to spend with my family plus the added opportunity to pursue other projects).

Here are some of the things that can do this for you, too …

The simple change I made that not only made it OK to “pitch” magic products from the stage at my shows ... but now earns me applause as well!

 Why selling your reputation is far more important than selling your show ... and how your testimonials can be used to launch new shows

If you’re ALREADY doing fundraising shows and you want to …

 … want to arm yourself with a complete proven, GUARANTEED system

 … wish to save years of frustrating trial and error and eliminate all of the guesswork and confusion

… genuinely feel good about helping community groups raise money towards their worthwhile goals and activities  


Please, DO NOT invest in this program if ...

If you’re looking for a “magic pill” forget it.  If you think that putting this course on your shelf is going to suddenly catapult you to riches, keep dreaming.  But rest assured … if you do take action and follow my methods, you will get results.  I guarantee it.  A full 6-month guarantee, in fact. 

You read that right.  SIX MONTH GUARANTEE … RISK-FREE.  That’s how long you can test-drive this material to satisfy yourself of its worth.  If after 6 months you feel that it doesn’t live up to its claims, if you don’t think you’re getting full value from your investment, then I want you to send it back.  

I think you can appreciate that I wouldn’t make this generous guarantee if I wasn’t completely, 100% sure of the value of this material.  Hey - I know it works.  It’s been working for me for twenty years, and I’m willing to risk any you doubts you may have in order to prove it to you.

 
How YOU can obtain this program RISK-FREE and start profiting from the growing demand for fundraising shows

            Putting it bluntly … the cost of this course may shock you.

But after all, I’m spilling my guts here.  This fundraising system has been developed and honed to perfection during twenty-plus years.  You’re getting the educational benefit of a full career single-mindedly devoted to this field ... one that continues to provide me with an excellent career doing what I love to do.  And I’m literally serving it up on a silver platter.  (“Giving away the farm”, as they say).

Honestly, if I’d been able to invest in a “turn-key” system like this when I first began doing fundraising shows, it would’ve saved me years of trial-and-error.  Given the opportunity to obtain the tools and techniques to develop a fundraising vehicle that was ready to take to market and earn me thousands of dollars practically overnight, I’d have jumped at the chance.  Thing was, there’s been nothing quite like this program available … until now.

I know there’s plenty of performers who’d gladly invest a sizeable sum just to gain an edge in the lucrative fundraising market.  And there’s no doubt that the knowledge and experience contained in this program is easily worth several thousand dollars – an investment that’s quickly recovered doing just two or three shows.   


Although information like this might be worth thousands of dollars, that’s not the price.  It’s actually much less than that.  And that’s the thing you just may find shocking.  The investment in this information is well under $1,000 … in fact, it’s well under $500. 

Believe it or not, the regular edition of the Fundraising Magic™ course is just $347.  (Heck … that’s the kind of pocket change you can earn doing a couple birthday party shows!).  

Depending upon your situation and requirements, you can choose between two formats of this course.

The regular edition contains everything we’ve talked about so far.

            For only $97 more, you can own the Deluxe edition, which contains all the material you’ll find in the regular package, plus some extremely valuable extras …  

The Deluxe Edition also includes:

1.      My video "sales letter".  This is the tape that I use to SELL-OUT my show tours annually.  It contains my "killer" presentation - the one I use that closes up to 80% of my live sales meetings!

2.  The Project Kit Manual.  Yup, the very same one I provide to sponsors of my show … the actual step-by-step plan they ALL receive and absolutely love!!!  (Check the glowing testimonials throughout this website!)

3.  Camera-ready tools package.  Everything I currently provide to sponsors …all the flyers, press releases, ticket request forms, contest pages … dozens of camera-ready samples you can easily model for your fundraising show.

4.      Newsletter back-issues.  The monthly report that keeps me in touch with my sponsors, keeps them motivated and helps ensure their success with my program (plus gives me an opportunity for some highly profitable backend sales as well!).

            Your investment in the Deluxe Edition is just $444.

 

Well, there it is.  You now have a pretty good idea of what’s covered in the Fundraising Magic™ course.  To sum it all up in a single sentence, here’s what you’ll be getting:

PPS:  I thought you might like to hear what others have to say about my Fundraising Magic™ program.  Some of their comments are as follows …


 




"I  have performed three seasons with John Kaplan's Fundraising Magic Program and I can fully attest to the practicality and enormously successful results achieved.  Unquestionably, this system works to book shows, earn thousands of dollars for school, community groups, and most importantly, to make some money for yourself ... just fantastic!"   - Tony Eng, Victoria BC


John's a master marketer of fundraising shows for community organizations.  I've watched him apply his system successfully for years ... if you want to break into the fundraising market or dramatically increase the amount of   money you're already earning in this field, definitely get this course!"  - Randy Charach, Vancouver BC


“I toured with John's show in 1992 and as a cast member, I have seen first-hand his incredible system for finding, booking and performing fundraising shows for community groups.  This is the real deal, from a pro who's been doing it forever. It has been tried, tested and true. I couldn’t believe how happy show sponsors were with the system John has come up with.  I highly recommend John's course for anyone wanting to be successful with fundraising shows ... IT WORKS !! It's outstanding!”   - Tony Kingston, Calgary AB


“The course arrived yesterday … great material!”  - Jerry Winn, Harrisonburg VA


“I can’t recommend this kit any more highly.  It is BEYOND AWESOME … no one has EVER offered anything that even comes close to John’s system.”  - Dave Dee, Alpharetta GA


“John, just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with your fundraising course. It is one of the best investments I have ever made. I have been doing fundraising magic shows for 15 years. I had successes and failures. It was always hit or miss and some customers told me they would love to do it but it was too much work. The thing that was missing was some kind of a project kit that would have all the work done for my customers. Your project manual is the perfect answer and your additional ideas on piggyback fundraisers are fantastic. I am already using your techniques and one customer loves the ideas.” - Gary Summers, St John’s NF


“Thanks for the fundraising kit...I am digging through it right now!  You have a lot of really great ideas on this topic... your materials are the very best I have seen on the market today...thanks again!” - Cody S. Fisher, Austin TX
