The Greatest Magic Show

  • Family and kids
  • Comedy

The multi-award-winning, sell-out sensation returns to Melbourne.

The Greatest Magic Show features mind-boggling magic, extraordinary circus acts, side-splitting comedy and loads of audience participation. The show keeps adults and the littles ones on the edge of their seats from start to finish - with a inspirational grand finale.

Debuting in their hometown of Melbourne in 2018 to sold out audiences and rave reviews, the show has since gained international acclaim having toured Australia, New Zealand, England and Scotland!

Every child receives a magic wand on entry.

Part of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
