His First Job Was at Disneyland
Steve Martin’s first-ever job was at Disneyland, but he wasn’t the guy wearing the Mickey Mouse suit. As a high school student, he spent the weekends selling guidebooks (for which he kept $0.02 for every book he sold). During the summers, he worked full-time. The Disneyland gig lasted for three years, from 1955 to 1958.

During his free time, Martin visited the Main Street Magic shop, where tricks were performed. One day, Martin was captured in the background of a home video that ended up being made into the short-subject film called Disneyland Dream. Thus, it technically became his first film appearance.
By 1960, after mastering some magic tricks and illusions, he took a job at the Magic shop in Fantasyland. It was there that he perfected his talents for magic, juggling, balloon animals, and the very cowboy rope tricks that we saw him do in ¡Three Amigos!
