We’re back for our 6th year in a row and what an amazing festival we have planned for you! Magic classes for kids and adults, magicians from all over Australia, and our very special guest from the USA Wayne Houchin. Plus we have brand new events including a panel session, a launch extravaganza show, Move Monkeys, a dinner show, a death defying stunt, and an entire new studio dedicated to parlour magic. We have special guests and surprises galore so explore our new website or, better still, come along to the festival every day so you don’t miss a trick!
You can always take a chance and just rock up at the box office at showtime, but last year almost 50% of the shows were sold out with the rest around 80% capacity! You can book online, by phone or in person. CLICK HERE to find out how.
This year we have several completely free events and shows, and quite a few that are only ten bucks! (That’s almost free!) Want to find out how to do the MMF on a tight budget? We’ll let you in on the secret! CLICK HERE to find out how.
