Melbourne Magic Festival

The Melbourne Magic Festival is one of a kind in Australia, and is easily regarded as the ultimate winter festival in Melbourne.

Founded in 2008 by the Australian Institute of Magic, the festival seeks to bring together magicians and magic fans to one platform for the experience of a lifetime.

The Melbourne Magic Festival casts its spell across the Melba Spiegeltent from 27 June to 9 July and promises to take audiences to a truly magical realm with over 300 performances of 55 different shows including top international guest magicians from all over the world!

Be amazed as Melbourne becomes a magical hub in winter for 13 days only with special events, workshops, and live shows for everyone from child friendly to adults only. In addition to over 60 magicians from all over Australia, the Festival is proud to welcome special guests from the UK and US.

There are a number of free shows and activities happening at ‘Magic Central’, so be sure to check out the event schedules. Most shows are paid and tickets can be booked in advance online or in person.

The Melbourne Magic Festival is held at the Melba Spiegeltent on Johnston Street, Collingwood and 13 other locations around Victoria.
