Put an ad in the local paper. "Show up such-and-such location at such-and-such time, follow the instructions, and I'll pay you $30" or whatever.

I'd probably put a skill or training requirement of some kind, so spectators who want to help with the spell need to do more than wave a candle around and chant a little. Either make it skill-based (leading to a thriving market in thaumatology undergrads and the like offering their services to support archmages' big rituals), or make it something like a specific perk (so you need to spend ~200 hours training potential spectators). That doesn't fix the other oddities with the system, but...eh.
