Definitely one of the more entertaining nights I've had!

Was it at the heritage hotel?

Maybe 150 - 200 when I was around 7, I don't think I would be able to do that now! I can't remember the trick I did, maybe colour monte.

I need to start building my confidence back up again

Nope - Oceana

And yes, to previous questions, I was asked to perform a "finale" of the night in the ring!

I did what I like to call a "Berglas" and whatever they asked me to do just said "yes", whilst at the same time having no clue how to do it, accept the conditions that they put on, and then thought of a method to actually do the damn thing later!

About 1,000 for a kids show, about 800 for my biggest hypnosis show. I don't know about festivals, but some large crowds from gig rigs. Could be five hundred, could be two thousand. No way of telling.

I have also performed at a white collar boxing event - but I was in the ring with gloves. A great experience. And my ring enterance was cool - plenty of fire-blowing. I am quite good at the boxing. I alwasy manage to finish a bout in the top two.

I did a gig for about 1500 people a couple of months back at the Ricoh Arena. Very busy but had a great time.

Was knackered afterwards and still didn't get around everyone despite working for six hours solid.

About 300 at a time when I used to do magic in panto a few years ago.
More recently I did a play in an open-air venue where I performed classic magic at intervals throughout the show and we got about 250-300 on the good weather nights.

I guess the question is a bit biased towards those who do stage magic though as close-up workers would normally perform to much smaller groups repeatedly.

1100

All the people on Earth, including those working in mines, under the sea, flying planes and even asleep; the people on the International Space Station, in transit onboard the Space Shuttle and Russian cargo rockets, and a big shout out to the Mars rovers.

Actually, about 200 I think.

I'm far happier in the background, coming up with material for others to make their own.
