Not every street performer can earn millions of dollars like David Blaine and David Copperfield, but the money's there for those who perfect their skills and create unique performances. Until then, street magicians earned average annual incomes of $43,000 as of 2013, according to the job site Simply Hired. Talent is more important than education in the world of street magic, but it takes years of reading and practice to become proficient in this art. Other essential requirements are an attention to detail, persistence, physical stamina, creativity, memorization, reading and speaking skills.
