Magic, Mirth and Mystery

  • Family and kids
  • Theatre

See Melbourne's most exclusive children's magic show at Piccolo Teatro Magic Theatre.

Enjoy a visually stunning, enchanting, dramatic and comical children's show with magic, character and audience participation. Witness an amazing dreamlike story of a boy who enters another world with tables that levitate, glasses that float, cards that appear from nowhere and an intriguing female magician.

Journey with these loveable characters across the ocean to Paris, meet the Owl and The Pussycat and prepare yourself to be enchanted and amazed.

Piccolo Teatro is a small theatre accessible by two flights of stairs. The theatre is most suitable for children of school age and is not ideal for toddlers as there is no storage for prams, no baby change facilities and no food or drink other than water permitted. Parents must supervise children at all times.
