Description

Step into the world of the magician, where fragments of life are unveiled through a mysterious diary. Join a mesmerising adventure through mountains, seas, and the cosmos in search of creative sparks. Experience classical Chinese poetry fused with modern magic, witness centuries-old verses colliding with contemporary art. Diary of a Magician blends classic magic and sensational stunts into a spellbinding performance. ‘More than just magic, this is art’ ***** (KidsInAdelaide.com.au). ‘Moves like a dancer, everyone is enraptured… Keeping children’s attention is tough; doing it without saying a word is even more impressive' (DarkStoriesTheatre.com.au).

A true for all the family show. Appreciated the reduced price fir a family too. We all really enjoyed this. You'll have seen the magic before but it's elevated by the sweet narrative and the almost dance like movement of the magician. Recommended!
