Press Release:
Following a COMPLETE SELL-OUT 26 SHOW RUN at this year’s Perth and Adelaide Fringe, SHOWMEN PRODUCTIONS are once again returning to Melbourne with The Greatest Magic Show – with more whimsical wonders than ever before! Having garnered international acclaim in countries such as Scotland, New Zealand and England; the stars Sam and Justin will be hitting the stage with brand new illusions
direct from a Las Vegas stage!
After having debuted in 2018 to sell-out crowds across the country, the Showmen have continued their enormous success, being awarded the weekly award for Best Children’s Show at the 2019 Fringe World, as well as winning Best Kids Show at the 2019 Sydney Fringe. At the 2019 Adelaide Fringe, they received further acclaim from GLAM Adelaide, where they were hailed as: “Quite possibly the Penn & Teller of Australia! ★★★★★!”. During their 2020 season at Fringe World, the show was further praised by the West Australian as a “Rollicking, Rollercoaster Ride for Pint-sized Punters! ★★★★1⁄2”
This year for the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, THE GREATEST MAGIC SHOW stars Sam and Justin are bringing brand new illusions purchased direct from the same Vegas builder who worked with David Copperfield and Lance Burton; and of course will be joined by The Ringmaster, who after searching far and wide, has finally found The Greatest Magic Show – and will do everything he can to keep it on track! As an added bonus, every child who attends the show will receive a FREE MAGIC WAND on entry and have their chance to take a photo with the stars of the show after the performance, plus a wide range or merchandise available – including magic showbags so the kids can become masters of magic themselves!
