There's plenty of table-hopping advice if you use the search function.

However, it depends on how many tables you have to "do" in that 90 minutes. Then it's a simple matter of dividing the time by the tables (or something like that!).

I would certainly never spend more than 15 minutes at a table unless the spec's requested it.

As for what "tricks" to do, well that really depends on your performance style. For instance I would be engaged mainly in mind-reading that would segway into palm or tarot readings. Others obiously would be cutting pieces of rope or making coins disappear or twisting balloons into amusing shapes. I would say do what you're good at.

Hope that helps.

The Wand's right there, you should perform what you know and what suits you. My favourite table hopping routine is my sponge bunny routine, but that wouldn't suit everyone.

As for time, I usually aim for about 10 minutes per table, this for me seems to be about right. I'll try to get a routine to 8 minutes, this then leaves a few minutes for introductions and some chit chat.

THANK YOU, for the advice and help and sorry about the "trick" faux pa there effects but all your information is greatly received. many thanks.
