I played for around about 1000 people once when I was with my band. Magic wise I'd guess at about a couple of hundred.

In America, 1000ish...
It was just a spot in the evening, but it wasn't a great gig, as I didn't have a lot of stuff that plays that big. Did a short mental magic piece.
Think I would be better now.

About 500 as a lecturer, but only ~100 as a magician.

Around 300 - 500. Twice doing an impressions act, once with magic.

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


I must ask, did you perform in the ring?

I think that's just a malicious rumour spread around by non-working pro's.

    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)

    i did mostly up close illusions and a few card tricks, it was at a wedding, it was quite late into the night so most people had gone home but the ones who stayed were mostly quite tipsy which made them more amazed lol, i had my favorite ring so i did the coin through the glass tabe, coin through glass bottle etc, the rest were just some quite easy card tricks like the 3 row mind reader, the four aces, card through window.. it was brilliant, thats the most people ive done a show to, ive done some kids parties, small charity events that sort of thing, ive learned one thing, the drunker they are, the more amazed the audience will be.
