Thank you for pointing out the interesting aspect of this "trick". Perhaps more Tommy Cooper than David Blaine. Did you have a glamorous assistant? Didn't work for him at the Her Majesty's Theatre did it though.

Why is unacceptable behaviour in a Theatre, acceptable in a Cinema? Popcorn ARRRRRRRRRGH! Something to do with theatres only amplifying their performers so far while cinemas crank the volume up as far as possible, not to mention cinemas making the bulk of their profit from selling concessions because the ticket prices barely cover the rights to show the films even in their currently extremely inflated state? At a guess. Seats are also further apart in both width and depth, and a steeper rake means offensive things are further away. The action is much bigger and all encompassing so distractions are more subtle. And theatres sell a lot more tickets at a higher price so don't really on food mark ups to get by.

I've always been a little suspicious of hot dogs. There's an air of "made with 100% animal product" about them. ("Buy our new premium hot dogs, now containing mammal.") This now goes back full circle and that Weatherspoons sell a decent one, with fries and it comes with the added bonus it doesn't upset your fellow theatregoer.

Phantom, you put “Wetherspoons” and “decent” in the same sentence. Did you mean to do that?
