  • Family and kids
  • Comedy

The maddest of mad scientists, Magnus Danger Magnus, is back! Following nation-wide sell out seasons at arts festivals around Australia and the UK, this all-ages electromagnetic extravaganza returns with a fresh rendition of Australia’s most explosive science spectacular – bigger, louder and more dangerously dazzling than ever before.

Chaotic mayhem abounds in this stunningly stylish STEM show with ten times the spectacle and 20,000 times the voltage of science classes at school. Magnus has exploded his way across the country, lighting fires on stage and setting kids’ curiosity ablaze. Now he’s built a fascinating new set of gizmos and gadgets guaranteed to electrify.

Whether you’re a science fanatic, an entertainment junkie or just looking for a fun family day out, this high-octane show delivers educational entertainment at its absolute best.

Don’t miss your chance to see Australia’s favourite family science show – one part genius, two parts chaos and 100 percent fun.
