World of Wonders

Lachlan Wilde builds magic shows for children, and World of Wonders is the current one. It leans on visual magic and comedy, with a lot of room for kids to get involved and do some of the magic themselves. Three versions exist. The children's party show runs an hour. The school version is aimed at book week, end of term and anything that needs a day of surprise and storytelling. And there's a calm conjuring show tailored to audiences with physical or intellectual disabilities, built at a gentler pace. Setup takes 15 minutes from arrival. If you're going outdoors, keep the performance area out of direct sun and have a wet weather backup, because Melbourne is Melbourne. Insured, with a Working With Children Check.
