A collage of circus performers, magicians and illusionists on a black background.

Illusionists, circus performers, and magicians appear for two mind-bending performances.

Circus of Illusion Magic Show will have you gasping in awe, laughing out loud, and sitting on the edge of your seat. It’s a spectacle for the whole family. Local and international talent will descend on St James Theatre for 90 minutes of fun. Witness a man being sawn in half, chainsaw juggling, motorbike mayhem, mind-blowing illusions, and mesmerising magic. 

Watch special guest artist Joel Fenton inside a giant balloon. Felicity Rogers weaves magic, puppetry, and dance into her mesmerising performance. Andre Vegas and Company will have you questioning gravity. And Nunya Bender performs aerial and contortion acts that need to be seen to be believed. Circus of Illusion Magic Show is a mind-blowing extravaganza.
