The Houdini Theatre is located in the Arrow Hub of the Melbourne Magic Festival, Arrow on Swanston.
The theatre seats 260 guests and has a raised proscenium arch stage and huge video screen making it ideal to watch all styles of magic from intimate sleight of hand to large scale grand illusion.
Make sure you arrive at least 30 minutes before showtime so you can head downstairs to Magic Central (our theatre foyer) and explore. We’ll have random acts of magic, jam sessions, instagrammable locations and the Magic Universe Shop. In the evening you can grab a cocktail courtesy of Melbourne Mobile Bars.
