Flash mobs that have happened spontaneously might well cost nothing but this one has been commissioned and I think you'll be hard pushed to find very many these days that are completely random. There is a company in Manchester that specialises in this sort of thing and you wouldn't get change out of £10k.
Plus, again Cassandra is a local person, shopping in local shops and working with local people.

My maths aren't 'a bit off'.
Check again.
I was referring to the normal fees she charges, as quoted on her website.
To earn a thousand quid, at her normal rate, without the generous intervention of a local government subsidy form Hyndburn B.C., she'd have to teach 333 people, at £3.00 per half hour class, to earn the equivalent amount of £1,000.00.
