Ive been asked to gig a Stadium sized stage to a crowd of god knows how many!

WTF am I gonna do.........Ive got a ten minute filler between bands and its basically a free b that gets me a lot of coverage and free marketing!


I havnt a clue what to perform and Ive got like two weeks to come up with somethign..eeeeeeeekkkkkkkk Help

If you've only got a couple of weeks, that's not really time to put something totally new together so I'd say stick with what you know. If you've got a good rope routine, that can work well on the stage.

What sort of routines are you doing at the moment?

Doing Fibre Optics..but dont think thats gonna work to a couple of thousand people........

Im not worried about learning something new, Ive got everyday for two weeks to nail it and Im confident lol....well sort of.........

Was thinking some sort of tossed out deck or that Collared trick?

if you have the funds?

Lol although I might think Im Derren Brown I dont earn what he does lol...

I would love that but its a little out of price range....cheers thou x

it was half joke, half something to think about for the future eh?

Imagine the coverage should you do this publically, with the news groups and everyone!

Pretend you are actually psychic (though I don't condone it), and you're set in your town for sure!

Trust me if I had the money Id do it........without a second of a doubt, but Ive just shelled out £1000 on two new trade show displays and a trade show desk for the wedding fayres im doing this year....Plus Im paying for my wedding, so I cant see my missus wanting me to spend a grand on a box lol no matter how superhero I would appear...........

Id probably kill to have it, we saw it perform at D.B show and its ace...I know the workings of the box....man u shudnt have reminded me of that...dammmmmitttttttt...


How much is that in pounds?

Does anywer in the U.K sell it ?

not that i know - but just half the price and you have an approximate sterling value

I HATE YOU! youve got me thinking of the fantasy of so many folk being convinced of my abilities........grr ur like a drugs pusher....

I wonder if Derren would lend me his Box for the evening lol....no pun intended

I've said it befor and i'll say it again!
Just watch a live derren show and rip him off! you know what i mean.

maybe do some glass walking a la DB?

or cop out and do the vanishing bandana!

Andy Nyman's Dead Zone plays incredibly strong for a stage - but your particular venue sounds very large, so I'm wondering if it might play too small.

Perhaps a Chair Prediction?

Rick Maue's Fate is another option.

Not to be downer, but the only real problem I see, is timing. Every day for two weeks doesn't sound like enough to to completely learn and rehearse something. Is there anything in your current set that you can expand to play for a larger audience?

I dont practice! I have no problem puttin on a stage act in a theatre given Ive got a crowd and a day to work the lighting out........

But no need now, cos the venues changed the idea, so less people in the VIP bar instead, that more me.....cheers for help though x

Absolutely Why not do the 3 white balls and 1 black ball truth/lie effect? That plays incredibly strong but is incredibly simple.
