Comments on: * I Want To Be A Magician http://melbournemagicfestival.com July 2-14 - Northcote Town Hall Mon, 21 May 2012 01:17:33 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Tayissa http://melbournemagicfestival.com/archives/melbourne-magic-festival-2010/two-out-of-a-hat/#comment-847 Sun, 11 Jul 2010 07:18:57 +0000 http://melbournemagicfestival.com/?page_id=909#comment-847 It was a pleasure to watch ‘I want to be a magician’, presented by Joel Howlett and Anthony De Masi. The show was full of laughs and audience participation, while the magic presented was fun, exciting and visually engaging. Joel and Anthony worked well as a team, each presenting different magical feats with their own style, flair and personality. Throughout the show, the enthusiasm and love for magic that Joel and Anthony each have was clearly displayed and this added to my enjoyment of the show. Highlights of the show included a colour changing house and dove productions and vanishes. I look forward to future shows by Joel and Anthony.

i took my 12 and 2 year old with me and was concerned at how much they would both enjoy it.
Molly-Jane (2) sat still for longer than she has done for in a very long time, only moving for a toilet break and to get a better view around the people in front of her! She was totally fascinated with it all – i am not sure what she made of it, but she certainly enjoyed herself and loved joining in with the clapping
Max (12) couldn’t stop smiling and laughing and still has a grin. He still has fits of giggles when talking about the rabbit at the end with the teeth (im trying not to give it away!)
I sat there amused and entertained and i think that at times i clapped/gasped or laughed louder than some of the kids around us!

Joel and Anthony were sensational, involving children of all ages and to top off Molly Janes experience, all the kids were invited to come up and touch the rabbit and guinea pig at the end of the show.

We also cannot decide on a favourite trick, there were so many and some of them were really unexpected.

Only negative of the day, was not enough tiered seating and some of the smaller children found it difficult to see past adults in front of them.

A fantastic, fun, interactive experience for all ages and would recommend to all….
I am off to facebook it now!!!

Meg said, “I liked it went the book was opened and fire came out. I also liked the bubble trick”. Oscar says, “the rope trick where Joel kept cutting the rope and putting it back together was unbelievable. The name of the show matched the show”.
I was impressed with the quality and quantity of tricks. There were so many amazing tricks in the show. Both magicians are funny, entertaining, highly skilled and seem to love working with children. There was lots of audience participation – with kids having the chance to go out on stage. We have no idea how any of the tricks were done. Meg had the chance to have milk poured over her head, she held an umbrella to be safe, but not one drop landed on her head. The music in the show creates a fun and upbeat atmosphere. All in all, we loved it!!!

Easiest thing to do is to give the box office a call on 03 9481 9500

If I proceed to enter my credit casrd details it will charge me a lot more than the cost of the fa,ily ticket.

How can I pay for these tickets?
Can you please advise as i do not want to miss the show.

Thanks.
