What was the most unusual setting for you to perform magic ?

Not that unusual/interesting perhaps but several time I have crossed the atlantic with Virgin and performed a few tricks at the back of the plane. It passed a few hours away...

The most unusual setting I have performed in is an alleyway. Did a kids show there.

If you were a little older, that would sound wrong on so many levels...

What do you consider a "show?" Did you advertise it to their parents as "making things disappear in a dingy alley," because that would've been hilarious.

Hey, Mikey :wink:

How'd I guess you'd be on? Might as well swing over and see what I've wrote in your mentalism post, eh?

Well, I don't think anyone is going to top that!

End of thread I would guess.

I work a lot at haunted locations such as old houses, castles, stately homes etc. It's nothing unusual for me, but sometimes I do have to stop and remind myself that not all magicians work under such conditions!

Brings a whole new level to close-up when you're about to do an amazing card revelation only to be told by a spec that there's a dark spirit standing behind you. :shock:

So that's where my Dark Spirit's been... well, at least someone is getting good use of it. :twisted:

This wasn't a paid gig - but I did a spoon bend for a gym instructor and a few other people while jogging on a treadmill at the gym.

I've also performed at a few strip clubs - that never seems to come out right - but hopefully you'll all know what I mean by that.
