Age limit banana?

For the pub I imagine 18

Not sure if the meeting has an age limit - I'm performing there though so if my hideous visage frightens you, no under 21s

Shame - I have got a gig on a riverboat on Monday night entertaining local business people otherwise I may have made the journey.

Have a good evening!

No age limit for the show (under 16's should be acompanied by an adult).

Be fascinating to read a review of this event - sounds great!

Piers.

I was the compere for the evening and we enjoyed 6 acts altogether.

We started the evening with a duo Keith and his Mystic Marge medium who did some nice mind reading, book test, and other routines that were highly entertaining.

TM's Ecko Zero performed a nice version of Free Will using large fruit cards and the did some excellent pseudo psychometry, all of which went down well with our members.

Alex Marsh gave us a nice effect that combined his background in drama with mentalism, where he divined the name, age, and gender of a long lost friend of a participant.

Michael Fitch did a great Larry Becker watch and card routine, where the time stopped at a number, at which the chosen card was found in the deck, which also matched the name of the card etched into the watch case. Alongside this, Michael had a participant (Ecko's other half) write down something memorable from her childhood. Michael got a seriously eerie hit that was not even written down (spooked us all out, I can tell you).

Michael was followed by Andy Fisher who did an amazingly well-scripted set with a stroop test, chair routine, and a version of dead zone that drew on Andy's previous career as a body guard. The set ended with a scroll in a sealed tupperware in a teddy bear accurately predicting the outcome of every effect, including the name of the participant in the dead zone routines....jaws could be heard dropping.

Yours truly finished the evening with a psychic chess routine, a psychometry routine using coloured cats-eye crystals, and Luna...

We are graced with many mentalists in our local society...so stay tuned!!!

Over to you Banana...
