Reviews

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Unmissable, and a runaway hit of the festival. No one forgets their experience at the ‘Best of the Magic Fest’ so I can’t recommend this show enough. Make sure you book it in your calendar next year!.' - Tay Around Town

⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'The Best of the Magic Fest is a great night with variety, cheek and high-class magic that makes you put your hand to your face wondering what is going to happen next. What’s brilliant about magic is how it brings out the child in all of us, and this show does exactly that and wraps it in an enjoyable adult package. It’s a perfect introduction for the rest of the Melbourne Magic Festival’s July program.' - Theatre Press
