About
Mika Harris is a magician for hire in Melbourne, VIC.
Mika Harris learned his craft on the streets of New Zealand and Australia, which is a hard school. If sleight of hand doesn't hold a footpath crowd, nothing will. He's now Melbourne based and specialises in close-up magic, working small groups and large ones with the same high energy. Walkaround suits most rooms and adapts to whatever the venue gives him, with the performing time flexible. There's also a stage show running 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the space. Festivals, parties, corporate events, weddings and kids' parties all sit inside what he does. Setup is minimal. He's covered for public liability.
Watch
The show
Mika brings a lot of energy and he'll work a small group of three as hard as a full room. Close-up is his specialty, so the magic happens right under people's noses rather than at a distance. Expect straight answers when you're organising it and flexibility about what the day actually needs. It's fun, and he isn't precious about it.
On the day
There is very little to arrange. Mika works close up and on foot, so no stage, no rigging and no lengthy set up are needed, and what small amount he does want depends on the venue and which format you have booked. A walkaround through a cocktail hour asks almost nothing of the room. The 30 to 60 minute stage show asks a bit more, mainly somewhere for the audience to see him from. Give him the venue details and he will confirm before the day.
Performance options
Walkaround close-up magic fits almost any space. He adapts it to the venue, works with individuals and small groups, and the performing time can stretch or shorten around your run sheet. There's also a stage show of 30 to 60 minutes, with the length depending on the room and what else is happening that night.
