About
Mr Tricks is a magician for hire in Melbourne, VIC.
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.
Watch
The show
For adults it's close-up magic drawn from around the world, and it happens right in front of you rather than up on a stage. Two ways to run it. Roving through a stand-up cocktail hour, moving from group to group. Or table to table while guests are seated at dinner, which fills the gaps between courses nicely. And the useful bit for a tight run sheet is that he can walk in and start straight away, no set-up wait.
On the day
Almost nothing. He fits around whatever you've got, right down to walking in and starting with no set-up time at all. Tell him what you're after and he brings it. The one exception is the large stage illusions, which need some extra time before the show.
Performance options
If you want more than one performance across an event, or across a day, that can be put together as a set of appearances rather than booked one at a time.
