As we all know, this year various astronomical alignments and numerological formulae have been proposed, the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar will reach the end of it’s 5,125-year-long cycle, as well as the culmination of a range of eschatological beliefs according to which cataclysmic or transformative events will occur leading to the end of the world on December 21, 2012.
So this may be your last ever chance to enter “Beat the Wand”!
Beat the Wand is back! Thankyou to the performers and audience who made last years show the best yet.
Non-magical acts have proved to be more popular with the audience so we would love to continue the variety aspect this year.
Juggling, Escapology, Contortian, Geek Magic, Bizzare, Occult, Mind Reading, Ventriloquism, Mouth Juggling, World record attempts
Of course magic is welcome in the show but remember the audience is 99.9% magicians so whatever the act, it will need a novel twist or presentation to capture the audiences interest. There were some fantastic spoof magic acts last year which also went down very well.
If you are interested in performing here are the rules...
* Your act must last a minimum of three and a maximum of five minutes.
* Five giant wands will be thrown into the audience. After an act has performed for one minute the "voting" begins. Once a wand holder has seen enough of your act they will place their wand in the air. If five wands are in the air the act will stop.
* If an act reaches three minutes they are safe and will be allowed to finish their act.
* Of all the acts who reached the three minute mark and "beat the wand" the audience will decide the winner by Clap-o-meter.
* Performers will be supplied with a hand mic, a table and two chairs. There are no cameras or screens in the bar so close-up/table magic will not be suitable.
