Anyone else who wants to come along, I'll be the big bloke with a beard in a denim jacket with a pack of cards on the table!

All in all, I would deem it as a success - was a total sell out, and even had to turn away people on the door who hadn't brought advanced tickets.

I thoroughly enjoyed myself, though it was weird to see what was the audience's favourite effect - not what I thought it would be!

Overall, it was a good experience, and I hope the TM members who came enjoyed themselves as well!
Love

I think the conversation with the taxi driver on the way home summed it up perfectly...

TD: Just come out of the Pump House?
Me: No, the theatre...
TD: Ahh... See anything good?
Me: I saw a mentalist who I....
TD: (Butting in) You mean, like Derren Brown?
Me: Yes...

Any chance of a review from any TMers that managed to catch the show?

well I enjoyed it :P

I messed up twice but I'm hoping I got out of it fairly well - nobody noticed, even the person on stage with me!

Either way, I'm glad I did it - not many people have the pleasure of performing to that many people in a theatre - it's definitely one if my highlights, I found it very enjoyable, an I hope that everybody else did!

What was most surprising however was what effects went down better than others - my predictions (ironically) were wrong!
