I do Tarot through a few agencies. I get 1 - 5 gigs from them a
year. Rates really vary, by event and also by agency. Sometimes
I have asked for travel expenses, and gotten them! Sometimes
rates are negotiable and sometimes they aren't. I couldn't live off
of agency gigs, but they have sent me to some fun places I
probably wouldn't have gotten to by other channels. Show up
where and when they tell you to, and do exactly as they ask. If you
can't abide by their rules, don't take the job. And if you have a bad
experience, be tactful, but tell your agency contact. They need to
know about their clients.

I also had to stop working for an agency that kept sending me to
inappropriate gigs. When I found out later that they hadn't been
in business very long, I wasn't surprised.
