Mr Tricks

Four characters, one performer, and you pick which one turns up. Mr Tricks the Magician is the default, but there's also Peghead Pete the Pirate, Count Gray the Weird Vampire and Mr Winkle the Wizard, plus a Santa when December comes around. Birthday parties and Christmas parties are the bread and butter, and the show is built so the birthday child ends up at the centre of it. Adults get a different set: close-up magic drawn from around the world, either roving through a stand-up cocktail hour or working table to table while guests are seated at dinner. One of the useful things about this act is that it needs almost no setup. He can walk in and start. Bigger stage illusions are the exception and want a bit of lead time. Melbourne based. A Working with Children Check is held.
