Piff The Magic Dragon

Overview

Say what you will about any hidden meaning behind the 1963 song, but Piff The Magic Dragon is more straightforward. It's a funny guy wearing a shiny dragon suit and doing amazing magic tricks with cards and fire, and there's also a tiny Chihuahua called Mr Piffles involved.

If that's the sort of thing you think you could sit through for 60 minutes then don't miss Edinburgh Fringe's knockout new performance when Piff touches down for his Sydney Opera House debut. This latest instalment in the adventures of Piff apparently centre around him searching for a princess and striving to be crowned the greatest magic dragon of all time, but less important than the storyline are the stunning theatrics.

Piff is the creation of John van der Put, The Magic Circle Close-up Magician of the year 2011 and an award-winning contemporary magician for the past 15 years. Impressive enough, but throw dragon costumes, fire and tiny dogs into the mix and you have a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
