Michael Conlan treated fans to a bizarre magic show before promising to make Leigh Wood's world title disappear on Saturday night.
Conlan was in confident mood as he went through a simple shadow boxing session during a public wotkout at The Level in Nottingham on Wednesday afternoon.
The 30-year-old will bid to become WBA world featherweight champion when he takes on Wood at a sold-out Motorpoint Arena in three days' time.

Conlan gave very little away during his brief workout on Wednesday, but instead introduced his cut man Russ Anber to perform some magic.
Speaking to Matchroom Boxing, Conlan joked: "See the trick where there was one ball in the girl's hand, and one in Russ' hand, and then they both ended up in her hands?
"That's what's going to happen on Saturday night with the belts. They will end up in my hands."
Conlan knows he will have to conjure up a career-best performance to dethrone WBA champion Wood in Nottingham.
But despite the high-pressure stakes of attempting to win his first world title, the Falls Road native insists the pressure is off.
"Thousands of fans will be coming over to watch me," he said.
"I think this is the fight where I have had the least pressure on me. I have had thousands of people coming when I am expected to win. And you're fighting in front of your home fans, in your home park.
"I fought at a purpose built arena with over 10,000 fans there, and I've financed it. And you're going, 'what the f*** is going on?'. This is all out of my own accounts. And I need to win.
"That's a lot more pressure than coming here and being the challenger against the champion in his back garden. I can't f****** wait."
Conlan and Wood will have their final press conference on Thursday before Friday's weigh-in.
And then on Saturday night they will put it all on the line., with Conlan confident he will be crowned world champion.
"For me the talking is done, I am ready to fight and I am f****** ready for war," he said.
"No matter what happens on Saturday night, I am ready to go through hell and back to get that belt.
"And I am f****** excited."
Conlan added: "Leigh does loads of stuff very well. he has good punch selection and has power.
"He is a talented fighter. He is a good, good fighter and he is world champion. And I know I am in with the best Leigh Wood.
"But I will bring the best Michael Conlan."
