Whats the most amount of people you have performed to?

I've performed to an audience of 14, that was the largest audience I've had so far.

About 50 realistically in high school at one time. I was told to stop because everyone was being loud and I was blocking the fire exits lol.

1200 - but that was playing guitar on stage at a festival with my band, nothing to do with magic.

450-500 ish, me and 1 other magician at a football club xmas party ... we got warned off the players tables and got told we had to concentrate the the "high rollers" if you will ... turns out that they didnt care AT ALL (and were very rude), the players however gave what we now refer to as "TV Reactions" :D

14 is still good though, how did you find the performance - explain what tricks you did, how they went down etc, its a great way to learn from your performances and see what worked, what maybe didn't work so well, if you are getting your "off beats" correct 9if the trick calls for such moments)

Approx 1600
But that was juggling, not magic.

Magic wise, about 30 or 40

A lounge-full on a cruise ship, standing room only - about 200, I think.

Depends. . . now days when I work it's usually less that two-dozen people but back in the day I've played to massive stadiums. . . I'd have to say that the four or five biggest I've ever done were as a warm-up act to a big name band and the couple of times I worked at State Fairs and Sporting Events. . . the COLLISION COURSE promo gave us the biggest crowd I believe; 3 performances in total for several thousand guests.

I've performed for thousands, probably even more than that. But I have to admit it was in small groups. Sometimes even one at a time demonstrating at the magic shop.

About 5.000 when I was pro DJ

I'm guessing a few hundred thousand if you count a few times I have performed magic on tv. (not a live crowed so does not count I guess)


These days its about 50 or so for parlor shows.

1600 last week at a White collar boxing event.

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