James Galea: Happy Magic Fun Time

  • Comedy
  • Theatre

A rare opportunity to witness one of Australia’s favourite magicians, James Galea live and up close at the intimate Piccolo Teatro.

With world-class sleight-of-hand and a devilish sense of humour, razor-sharp Aussie showman James Galea fuses magic and mischief into a cosy late-night performance that is anything but traditional.

From viral hits to sold-out shows worldwide, he’s built a reputation for flipping the script on magic, leaving audiences gasping, laughing, and wondering what the hell just happened.

Note: not recommended for guests under 18.
