About
Brendan Mon Tanner is a magician for hire in Sydney, NSW.
Fourteen award wins and a run of television credits including The Footy Show, Four Weddings and Hey Hey It's Saturday sit behind Brendan Mon Tanner's comedy magic. The work spans three quite different formats: roving close-up magic through a crowd, stand-up comedy, and grand illusion shows with real stage scale. Which one you want depends on the room, and he builds the show around your event rather than repeating a set. Corporate functions, weddings, family celebrations and sports nights are the usual bookings. Beyond the magic, the same Sydney operation supplies jugglers, clowns, circus acts, balloonists, face painters, fire performers and comedians, so a festival or a large family day can be staffed from one place. Set-up times vary by show, so ask when you enquire.

The show
Fourteen award wins and television credits including The Footy Show, Four Weddings and Hey Hey It's Saturday sit behind Brendan Mon Tanner's comedy magic. Three formats, and they feel completely different from each other. Roving close up magic moves through a crowd doing the kind of work that happens in your own hands. Stand up comedy is a seated show with no magic in it at all. And the grand illusion shows have proper stage scale behind them. Corporate functions, weddings, family celebrations and sports nights are the usual ground. Which format suits depends on your room, so it's worth describing the space when you get in touch.
On the day
Set up time depends entirely on which show you book, and the three formats are genuinely different animals. Roving close-up magic needs almost nothing. A grand illusion show is a different proposition, with staging and equipment to get into position. Ask when you enquire, with the venue and the format in mind, and you will get a straight answer about how long before your guests arrive he needs the room.
Performance options
Roving magic is the close up work, moving group to group through your guests. A stage magic show is the seated version, and the grand illusion show is that scaled right up for a large audience. Comedy is available as its own booking without any magic in it, and a wedding show is built for that day specifically. Beyond the magic there are jugglers working clubs, balls and fire, roving balloon artists, fire eaters, roving clowns, stilt walkers and face painters, which means a festival or a big family day can be staffed in one go rather than pieced together.
