Band Of Magicians

If you thought magic was just for lame shindigs and children’s birthday parties, then you just haven’t met the right magicians.

Australian magician, writer and producer James Galea joins three talented American counterparts Justin Flom, Nate Staniforth and Justin Willman on stage. Together – as Band of Magicians – they wow the crowd with incredible stunts and tricks that literally leave you asking, ‘How did they do that?’

Though they may be divided in their methods of onstage delivery, they all bring an excitable energy to the show. And – as you would expect – they all know some wicked card tricks, which they don’t fail to demonstrate side-by-side. Flom begins the show with a simple but mind-tripping optical illusion. Willman goes on to prove his reputation as equal part magician and comedian. Spectators are clutching their sides as he performs a trick – as instructed by Siri – that is sure to fail. Staniforth is “a numbers man” – he produces a mind-blowing ruse, using numbers chosen by showgoers. And seeing as we are in a casino, Galea seemingly tries to cheat an audience member out of their money.

Throw in some disappearing/reappearing, a bit of magical pizzazz and a bunch of laughs and you have an extraordinary, fine-tuned performance that will have you wondering for days after.
