Overview

There’s magic in the air at the Northcote Town Hall, with the return of the largest showcase of the impossible this side of the equator. Returning for its eighth straight year, the 2015 Melbourne Magic Festival will welcome more than 60 guests from around Australia and the world. Hold onto your hats, because they might be full of rabbits.

Among the headliners at this year’s festival are a pair of stars from Hollywood’s Magic Castle, in the form of international superstar Rob Zabrecky and six-time Magician of the Year winner Pop Hadyn. Big names from closer to home, meanwhile, include rising star Simon Coronel and magician comic Lawrence Leung, star of the ABC TV series Maximum Choppage.

Play your cards right at the Magicians Invitational Poker Tournament where cheating is permitted (as long as you don’t get caught), and a theatresports-style contest of magical improvisation. There will also be a number of workshops and classes in the town hall festival hub, plus video installations, performance artists and more.
