7 – 19 Jul

The Melbourne Magic Festival

The Melbourne Magic Festival casts its spell across Melbourne, promising to take you to the extreme end of visual theatre with over 140 performances of 40 different shows, including not one but three top international guest magicians from all over Australia.

Have you ever seen someone levitate right in front of your eyes? Would you like to be hypnotised or have your thoughts read? Are you looking for a family-friendly show that will appeal to all ages, or maybe an astonishing demonstration of pure sleight of hand? How about learning a trick or two yourself?

Be amazed as Melbourne becomes a magical hub in winter for 14 days of special events, workshops and live shows for everyone from child-friendly to adults-only.

Bring the family for a big day out of magic shows and workshops and grab lunch in the city, or meet your friends for drinks in the Magic Central Bar followed by a night of hilarious and mind-blowing magic.
