Voted Australia’s Best Escape Artist 2009

The Royal Brisbane Show (EKKA) 2008, Most popular Act

An incredible show guaranteed to leave you screaming for more! The “Magic and Illusion Show” is the perfect choice for medium to larger events and functions, with all the impact and wow of a large show whilst being suitable for most venues, as it does not require overly special staging and lighting.

This show will have you rolling on the floor laughing one moment and staring in disbelief the next. Filled with some of the cleverest audience participation, some of Las Vegas’s most stunning magical illusions and some never before seen effects and routines this show is a winner.

This show is exceptionally popular for those who want to wow clients and guests with the minimum of fuss. It also provides far more than the competitors offering shows for similar sized crowds.

See the

• The Slicer- the only illusion like it in Australia. On a construction site a beautiful girl is stretched to 3 meters while being cut into 7 pieces, all the while both hands and feet are seen!
• The Impaler- in a fantasy medieval sacrifice, that is strangely breathtakingly beautiful, a young woman is balanced on the tip of a sword and spun 360degrees before falling and being visibly impaled.
• Geometrick- will have you scratching your head as comically you will see a girl vanish in a cabinet that barely holds her, as numerous blades and tubes are thrust in allowing a full view through the centre to the back of the stage before the cabinet is spit into 3!
• The Doggy Bag- Ben’s most requested effect. With the help of a lady from the audience, Ben will have everyone in stitches as he brings a dog made out of a balloon to life. Watch as it sits up, rolls over and tragically with the help of Ben’s foot and a ‘pop’-plays dead-before he visual restores back to life.
• Houdini’s Famous Trunk Escape-where Ben is handcuffed and locked inside of a solid metal industrial box only to miraculously trade places with the assistant standing high atop.
• Nicole Kidman- An impossible but exceptionally funny effect where a puzzle in a frame of Nicole Kidman is seen complete. Well almost-the puzzle piece where her nose should be is missing. With a bag of over a 1000 different pieces, can Ben control the audiences mind and select the nose that fits Nicole?

Plus much much more….

With stunning mind blowing magical effects and Las Vegas Style Illusions, beautiful dancers and a non stop show of laughter, this is certainly a crowd pleaser.

NB: This show has the ability to incorporate company products and themes and include the company’s logo on the illusions themselves making the effect engagingly tied to you and your clients.
