Supposedly, Jeff Mills can mix up to 70 tracks in an hour. Go figure.
(Yes, I know that's techno and not trance, but still...)

It can be done with trance and it does work when done right - but an hour of fast mixing gets boring and annoying, in the same way that an hour of tracks allowed to run right down to the beat and bassline in every mix gets boring.
Vary it a bit and you're onto a winner - but I agree you have to be very careful about what tunes you do very quick mixes with and it usually only works a couple of times in a set.

with that many tracks in a mix...sounds like you'd for the most part just play the breakdown, then straight into another breakdown

ok here.. yesterday i done 4 uplifting trance tracks in 10 minutes..
it was a dj competition... and i am qualified
and now i am ask to do 10 tracks in 30 minutes... LOL
mixing trance like this is very stressful! i cant even enjoy the song at all
I think its a stupid idea that ruins the entire point of good mixing and good tracks.

10 trance tracks in 30 minutes is just silly. That's an average of 3 minutes per song. Most breakdowns last 3 minutes. Hence I stopped listening to trance Mixing like that will not get the job done.
Other music styles (techno, house etc.) are better suited for fast mixing. Trance absolutely isn't.

This sort of music is just meant to be played whole.

That will include like using more than 2 decks ro whatever, mixing 2 tracks into another 2 for example...
Mixing like that will not get the job done.
